Decades after a breakthrough cancer discovery at Michigan State University changed millions of lives around the world, a new building on campus is being developed to help spark the next generation of transformative ideas.
The MSU Research Foundation announced the development of the Rosenberg Center, its new headquarters facility on the campus of Michigan State University. The multi-tenant project represents a significant investment in Michigan’s innovation ecosystem, expanding capacity to support startup growth, research collaboration and connections across industry, academia and entrepreneurship.
The approximately $20 million investment from the foundation’s resources will expand the nonprofit organization’s ability to support researchers and entrepreneurs throughout Michigan with the resources, relationships and capital they need to drive real-world impact. By relocating its headquarters directly onto MSU’s campus, the foundation is creating new opportunities for researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and partners to connect and collaborate in closer proximity, according to Jeff Smith, director of Research Parks at the MSU Research Foundation.
