== Tactic #3: A Dedicated Physical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Space ==

*The [http://foundation.wsu.edu/ Campaign for Washington State] has a goal for a research space in Vancouver in the long term..  This bold goal is currently in its funding stage with an estimated commencement date in late 2015.  When one looks at the master plan for the developing campus in Vancouver there are multiple buildings in the works with the Innovation Space being a foremost goal.  Although student involvement in this project isn’t explicitly necessary there should be a student voice on the project.  The tactic would involve the formation of a student council to monitor the ongoing progress and be a communication channel for the students and alumni with a stake in the space.  With deeper student interest and awareness of the project the planned space can really become something that students will be able to take full advantage of.  It will help future students plan their university experience and allow students exploring graduate education a space for innovation in the long term.  The road of innovation and entrepreneurship can be rough but with the right resources and space can be encouraging.  WSUV is currently standing as a premier research university and an incubator space can take that research and transform it into so much more.  The reframing of entrepreneurship begins with something as simple as a place to meet.  Students should be aware that the university realizes this and has goals to meet these needs.  The Campaign for Washington State offers this opportunity and provides long term goals for reframing of innovation and entrepreneurship in Vancouver.
