A Space to Celebrate

Retrofitting a part of American history was almost as monumental as the place itself. In its heyday, Werner von Braun and his team of elite scientists solved enormous problems at Cummings Research Park. Moon landing, anyone?

Fast forward a half century later and Cummings is still the epicenter for the smartest people you’ll ever meet. Yet it needed a new vision to attract the research and tech community that’s more accustomed to the open workspaces and human-scale environments that foster greater creative collision.

To help inform the 60-year plan, our team tapped eco systems experts, R&D specialists, and a research economist who mapped seven different future paths.

Ultimately, documents to accommodate growth from incubator-to-corporate giant were presented and embraced. That’s good news for all those intriguing projects—some of them top secret. We’d tell you about them, but that’s on a need-to-know basis.
