Dave Woodle, Chairman and CEO, NanoHorizons, Inc.
"I can't think of a better place to operate a high-tech engineering business. Not only are we practically next door to Penn State's nanofabrication facility, we're within a five-hour drive of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, Toronto, and New York"
Joan M. Dashner, Office Manager, L. Robert Kimball & Associates
"We moved our State College office into Innovation Park in March 2005. This is a great location for our staff with easy access off the highway from all directions of Centre County. We have a number of staff from our remote offices along with clients that travel to State College and it is convenient for them to fly into University Park airport and take the shuttle service offered by the Penn Stater to the hotel. We have held a number of meetings and conferences at the Penn Stater hotel over the years and the feedback received has always been positive. Kimball is pleased to have an office in Innovation Park."
Christine Dolan, Administrative Assistant, L. Robert Kimball & Associates
"Innovation Park is the perfect location for our office here in State College. Easy access, lots of parking and child care availability at Daybridge all combine to make the Park an “employee friendly” place to work. Within walking distance to our office, the Penn Stater offers the very best in hotel accommodations, including fine dining, for our corporate and client travelers. Kimball considers Innovation Park the number one business park in the Centre Region!"
Diane Foor, HR Manager, L. Robert Kimball & Associates
"We use the Penn Stater Hotel to accommodate our candidates and staff that are traveling to our State College regional office for interviews, orientation and meetings. The feedback that we receive from those that stay at the Penn Stater is consistently positive; which includes the quality and variety of the cuisine offered at the Gardens Restaurant and Legends Pub, the comfortable and clean rooms, as well as the hospitality offered by the staff. The courtesy van is a definite plus for those flying into the State College Airport, and the convenient location to our office."
Stephanie M. Hulina, President, GDA Corporation
"Being located within Innovation Park at Penn State provides a wonderful community for my business as well as my employees and clients. From a business perspective, we have benefited from strategic advice and working capital from other entities located within the Park such as the Industrial Modernization Center, Inc. and the Ben Franklin Technology Transformations Group. Visiting clients have benefited from being able to stay right across the street at the full service Penn Stater Hotel. And employees can take advantage of Park amenities such as restaurants, walking trails, coffee carts, Friday farmers market, and various Cool Blue Park events."

“Innovation Park has been a good place for us to grow our business. The space itself is good quality. It’s easy for our employees to get here and home. And, the park does a number of things to bring the people who work here together.”
Bob Martin, McNees Wallace & Nurick, LLC
"As the managing member of our firm's State College Office, it was my responsibility to find a location in State College that would be convenient and suitable for our Harrisburg based law firm. I had been a previous tenant in Innovation Park but had to change my location when I joined McNees Wallace. It was my objective from the beginning of my association with McNees Wallace to become a tenant again in Innovation Park which occurred in early in 2008. It Is my belief as a practicing attorney in Centre County for over 40 years that Innovation Park is the best business location in State College and Central Pennsylvania. Being a tenant in Innovation Park provides easy access from I-80 and I-99 in a business campus community that is attractive to our clients and those of us working in the State College Office."
Ralph Russo, Strategic Polymer Sciences, Inc.
"The support infrastructure at Innovation Park has enabled our young start-up to grow rapidly while minimizing financial risks. Having the resources of the Technology Transfer Organization, Ben Franklin and the IRO (Industrial Research Office) on site make it significantly easier to gain access to the assets needed to develop the business. The business introductions provided by Dan and Brenda both within the University and to the local business community have been invaluable. This has allowed us to focus on growing because they’ve taken care of most of the business support problems. Simply stated, the Innovation Park support services have provided SPS with the start-up resources that are critical for the early years of any start-up., and have definitely contributed to our early successes."
Tom Schwartz, President of Immersion, Inc.
“There are many benefits to being a Park tenant. We get access to many of Penn State’s departments and programs such as the Industrial Research Office and Ben Franklin Technology Partners, and we’ll have a close connection to the Penn State community and the vibrant environment of success created by the Park’s tenants and administration.”
