each successive building will be determined by market conditions at the time and the experience <br />we gain through operation of the prior IP @ND buildings. <br />Along with additional space of the type in Building A, Buildings B, C and D may house <br />wet and/or dry laboratories for facilities and/or equipment requiring special security, special <br />utility services, etc. The initiation and/or completion of the stages of Park development could, of <br />course, be accelerated considerably if donors and/or tenants are identified who will underwrite <br />the construction and operating costs associated with the facilities, or if pre - leasing activity for <br />Building A is particularly strong. <br />The implementation plan for the Innovation Park at Notre Dame will be phased in to <br />reflect the need for temporary facilities until Phase I/Building A is completed, as described <br />below. The Director of the IP @ND will commence active recruitment of prospective park <br />tenants and clients, assist the University Facilities Management team in completing Building A <br />design and initiate construction, and work closely with the City of South Bend, State of Indiana, <br />Federal agencies, Notre Dame Development and others to secure Certified Tech Park status and <br />funding for the facility and operation of IP @ND. To this end, a top priority will be the <br />development and implementation of an effective and impactful website to promote IP @ND, by <br />reaching out to those with the interest and motivation to pursue entrepreneurial activity in <br />concert with existing or new intellectual property, technology platforms and human resources at <br />the University of Notre Dame or its partner institutions, consistent with its vision. <br />to: <br />Other activities to be undertaken by the staff of the IP @ND include, but are not limited <br />• Introduction of the IP @ND mission and plan to the entire Notre Dame faculty, with their <br />ideas for projects solicited and catalogued by student- interns leased to the IP @ND by the <br />University, and ranked or rated for commercial potential by industry experts. <br />Page 17 of 23 <br />
