Clemson University is planning to construct a $6-million incubator facility in Pendleton, S.C. Sited in the Clemson Research Park, the 40,000-sf Innovation Center will be located adjacent to Clemson's Advanced Materials Research Laboratory. Additionally, Clemson has allotted $10.3 million in funding to create a research campus for the Clemson University Restoration Institute (CURI) in North Charleston on the former Charleston Naval Base.
Clemson has also awarded $7 million (matching $7 million in state funding) for a partnership with Greenville Hospital System (GHS) to create the Innovative Biomedicine and Bioengineering Research and Training Program. The funding will upgrade and equip facilities for the biomedical research program at the new GHS University Medical Center.
