Decades on, UW-Madison Research Park thrives, plans for growth
February 24, 2010
In the early 1980s, there was doubt. Today, University Research Park is the setting for more than 100 companies in 32 buildings employing between 3,500 and 4,000 people with an estimated annual payroll of almost $250 million. In 2009, the park paid nearly $3.6 million in property taxes, and each year the park returns on the order of $500,000 to the university.

February 20, 2010
University Research Park began offering space this month in its new Accelerator building. Designed for start-ups that have outgrown smaller suites in the park's incubator building, the 80,000-square-foot Accelerator boasts cutting-edge air-exchange systems, space designed for lab build-outs, and features that could help tenants shave thousands of dollars off their energy bills.
