The Missouri University of Science and Technology is set to celebrate the official opening of its new 50,000-square-foot Innovation Lab on Thursday. The dedication ceremony will begin at 4 PM and will be held at the lab located on the S&T campus at 650 Tim Bradley Way, just south of the Havener Center. Parking is available in the subsurface parking garage at 699 Tim Bradley Way.
The Kummer Institute for student innovation and entrepreneurship, established in 2020 after the university received a generous $300 million gift from Fred and June Kummer, has played a crucial role in bringing this vision to life. Fred Kummer, who earned a degree in civil engineering from S&T in 1955, had a strong desire to prepare students for success as entrepreneurs and innovators in a technology-driven global economy.
This new building is the first on the S&T campus to embody this vision completely. The Innovation Lab features maker spaces, modular classrooms, collaborative labs, and a central atrium that are designed to create a dynamic and hands-on learning environment that motivates students to think creatively and push the boundaries of what is possible. The goal is to inspire students to become trailblazers who can tackle the challenges of the future with innovative solutions.
