Auburn University Research and Innovation already operates a facility on Voyager Way, but the university is opening the new laboratory due to the increase in the national security, space, advanced manufacturing and applied research partnerships the school has developed in the city.

The facility will be home to Auburn students, faculty and 30+ full-time research scientists who will design, build, test, deploy and scale advanced technologies.
