UTK to Dedicate Innovation South
New Home for IACMI and Cutting-Edge Composites Research Lab
On Friday, Oct. 18, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will dedicate Innovation South—an impressive 85,000-sq-ft, multi-use facility located at the UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm. This new space will serve as IACMI’s headquarters but will also house UTK’s new Fibers and Composites Manufacturing Facility (FCMF), a 40,000-sq-ft high bay and laboratory led by Uday Vaidya, UT-ORNL Governor’s Chair for Advanced Composites Manufacturing and IACMI’s Chief Technology Officer.
Innovation South will be a strategic hub for regional collaboration in advanced composites and manufacturing. It will offer IACMI members and industry leaders access to cutting-edge research, world-class facilities, and collaborative office space. In addition to UT and IACMI, other tenants are slated to move into Innovation South. IACMI members interested in sharing limited office space with IACMI should contact Erin Brophy.
Stay tuned for our open house event in 2025, where we’ll celebrate this exciting new chapter for IACMI and the advanced composites community.
