There will be a dedicated space in the ARC that focuses on innovation + applied research for new inventions that go out into the marketplace. It’s ultimately a research hub for the high-tech industry.

The ARC will be located on the northwest side of campus, adjacent to the Innovation, Science, and Technology (IST) Building. Its builder is Skanska USA, which also developed the IST Building, and the architecture firm working on the design is HOK.
