About

A 69,000 sq ft purpose-built life science incubator on WMU's Parkview Campus, offering 58,000 sq ft of wet-lab space across 72 individual labs plus 11,000 sq ft of offices, conference rooms and common areas. Unusually for an academic incubator, it runs three tiered programs — Ideation Station shared desks at $150/month, the Resident Incubation Program for dedicated lab/office at subsidized progressive rates, and Skunk Works for established local companies validating new tech at market rates — all with genuinely all-inclusive rent covering utilities, internet, electricity and property taxes. Its state-designated SmartZone status confers a 100% personal property tax exemption, a meaningful saving for equipment-heavy startups.

11000 Cedar Startup Incubator (Case Western Reserve University)

US
Cleveland

11000 Cedar is Case Western Reserve University's four-story, 80,000 sq ft startup incubator directly across from CWRU's main campus in Cleveland's Innovation District, with roughly 30,000 sq ft of wet lab space plus dry labs and offices. Licensing scales from a single 8-foot shared bench up to large private labs, so pre-seed founders and funded startups can sit in the same building as 30+ other health-tech ventures. Its differentiator is proximity: members get significantly discounted access to CWRU core facilities, faculty expertise and student talent, with Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and the Cleveland VA all within a mile.

ABI-LAB is a privately held, four-building bio-incubator and accelerator campus in Natick, MA (~137,000 rentable SF) offering move-in-ready private lab suites and office space to early-stage and scaling life science companies. Its differentiator is a free shared Innovation Lab stocked with 24+ advanced instruments (SeqStudio, Attune NxT/CytPix, EVOS M7000, QuantStudio 6 Pro, Luminex 200, KingFisher Flex and more), plus three on-site Thermo Fisher supply centers with direct billing, so founders can "move in today, start your science tomorrow." Suites are delivered on a gross lease with utilities, DI water, CO2/gas, lab wastewater removal, backup generators and BSL-1/BSL-2 capable HVAC included.

ACC Bioscience Incubator

US
Austin

The ACC Bioscience Incubator (ABI) is Austin Community College's ~9,500 sq ft wet lab incubator on the Highland Campus (the former Highland Mall), billed as Austin's only dedicated bioscience startup incubator. Founders lease benches in one of four shared labs — or one of two exclusively-leased 400 sq ft ISO 8 cleanrooms with gowning rooms and piped gas — and get access to roughly $1.6M in shared instrumentation including an Illumina MiSeq, AKTA Pure FPLC, Beckman Optima ultracentrifuge, BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer and QuantStudio 3 qPCR. It's non-dilutive (companies keep 100% of IP and equity) and plugs startups into ACC's technical student workforce, three miles from the UT Austin campus.
