Long-term plans for The Garden include a Town Center, which will potentially contain retail, event space, a gym, day care facility, and/or park management facilities/services. Ample open space will provide park and regional residents opportunity to enjoy the landscape.
The Accelerator is a vision, concept, and building that exists nowhere else in the world. Combining office and laboratory, a high output formulation science laboratory, a technology commercialization company, and the equipment and technicians skilled in scaling up, The Accelerator creates endless and unique opportunities for companies within the incubator space.
If you are exploring the possibility of starting your venture in The Accelerator, please allow us to assist you in coordinating a visit. While you’re here, we’d be happy to show you around the entire campus of The Garden to see our wet labs, leasable office space, and how it all works together. We’d also be happy to help plan how to get here, where to stay, what to eat, and what to do while you’re in Hattiesburg.
