Nebraska Innovation Campus, Research and innovation hub in Lincoln, United States
Nebraska Innovation Campus is a research and innovation hub in Lincoln that spans a large property with specialized facilities for development and collaboration between academic and business sectors. The infrastructure includes metal shops, wood shops, 3D printers, ceramics equipment, and textile facilities available to members after they complete required safety training.
The campus emerged in 2008 following legislation that transferred the former Nebraska State Fair grounds to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This conversion created a new institution combining academic resources with practical application and business development.
The Nebraska Innovation Studio functions as a shared workspace where creators, entrepreneurs, and students collaborate on projects with professional-grade tools. The place has become a gathering point for people from different backgrounds working together on technical and creative ventures.
Visitors find workshops and equipment in one centralized location but must first complete safety training to access them. It helps to check in advance which specific workshops match your project needs and how membership access works.
The Industrial Arts Building blends historical architecture with modern greenhouse facilities for agricultural research, showing how the site retained a connection to its farming origins. This mix of old and new is an unusual approach that brings heritage and contemporary research together in one place.
