STAR Park Expansion ProjectsSTAR Park Expansion
The Science,Technology, and Advanced Research (STAR)Park received authorization for expansion projects from the Board of Regents on August 29, 2014. These projects include the purchase of a 20 acre track adjacent to the 38 acre site currently occupied by STAR One and a two phase building expansion. In Phase I the remainder of STAR One will be built out to house three new Life Science labs, three new Chemistry/Materials Science labs, and the new Polymer and Nanomaterials lab. Phase II will be a building addition of approximately 16,000 square feet. Currently in the design stage is a mulit-functional meeting space, additional labs, and office spaces. Phase I is expected to be completed by Summer 2015 and Phase II should be ready for occupancy in 2016.
Companies currently working out of STAR One include Micropower-Global, National Nanomaterials, Quantum Materials, PetaOmics, and SMRC. A number of Texas State graduates and interns are employed by these companies.
STAR One was originally envisioned to continue to grow as more tenants became interested with partnering with the university, and the park continues to progress with collaborative research.

Sound like we are in "Phase One" as summer of 2015 is referenced.
Still Longing for the future!
