IIT University Technology Park Incubator
Part of Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech)
About
The UTP Incubator is Illinois Tech's 33,000 sq ft startup facility housed in a restored Mies van der Rohe building on Chicago's South Side, offering 19 wet labs, 9 dry labs, and 6 office suites for up to ~34 companies. Unlike open-access coworking labs, it screens applicants — you need a written business plan with milestones, secured initial funding, an incorporated entity, and a senior leadership team to qualify. Wet labs come furnished (Steelcase) with fume hoods, natural gas, compressed air and vacuum, plus shared autoclave, centrifuge, and -80°C freezer, and sit within the broader 300,000 sq ft University Technology Park.
