[00:00:05.752]This is a really exciting time for the university, for Innovation Campus
[00:00:09.805]and for me, personally.
[00:00:12.801]We're ahead of our five-year plan.
[00:00:14.749]We're only a little over two and a half years into that five-year plan.
[00:00:18.437]We're ahead on construction and and we're ahead on company recruitment.
[00:00:22.550]ConAgra is our first announced corporate partner.
[00:00:25.888]What's behind me is the Food Innovation Center.
[00:00:28.009]That's a 178,000 square-foot facility.
[00:00:31.674]It will house the University of Nebraska's Food Science and Technology Department
[00:00:36.523]and several pilot plants that will facilitate our work with ConAgra
[00:00:40.305]and other companies.
[00:00:41.693]The building that we're in is a former 4-H building.
[00:00:44.777]It was completely remodeled into a conference facility.
[00:00:48.807]The conference center has been used a tremendous amount. We're getting a lot of
[00:00:53.532]traffic, it's drawing a lot of people to Innovation Campus, and one of those events
[00:00:58.058]has lead to a company that will rent space out here.
[00:01:02.824]Innovation Campus is the place that we can attract some high-tech workers to actually
[00:01:08.190]work in conjunction with university faculty and staff and students
[00:01:13.036]to create innovation, to create new products and create a lot of new jobs.
