  12. “The Garage” Imagine a place where NC State Students come together to turn ideas into reality… Imagine a place where teams of bright, engaged learners across disciplines together brainstorm, plan, design and build new products, services and solutions for the real world. Where specialized skills, be they grounded in engineering, management, writing or design, converge on a synergistic approach to solving real problems. A place where a continuous “buzz” of excitement is generation by students pushing the envelope in their abilities and their peers’, to experiment with prototypes, practice elevator pitches, and test innovative ideas on prospective customers, investors, professors, and mentors from the RTP entrepreneurial community. Where international experiences bring a global perspective to diverse projects. Where new North Carolina businesses are conceived and born, in the nurturing environment of the state’s science and technology flagship institution. This is the vision for “The Garage”, the hub of the NC State Entrepreneurship Initiative. Located in the heart of the Centennial Campus, the Garage houses open and collaborative workspaces, small group meeting rooms, a fully equipped video and teleconferencing center, lab and shop facilities, presentation rooms, online access to competitive information resources, and a snack bar well-stocked with healthy energy foods and caffeinated beverages!
