Welcome to Gateway Park

Gateway Park is a joint venture of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and the Worcester Business Development Corporation (WBDC). Located in Worcester, near the intersection of I-190 and I-290, Gateway Park is designed as a 12 acre, mixed-use destination for life sciences and biotech companies and the people who work for them.

The project includes: five life sciences buildings totaling 500,000 square feet of flexible, adaptable lab space designed to meet the needs of research organizations, 241,000 sq. ft. of market rate, loft condominiums as well as several planned retail establishments. WPI is also exploring the possibility of graduate student housing on one of the sites. Gateway Park is part of the larger 55-acre Gateway redevelopment district. It is currently home to numerous businesses, offices, restaurants, and business services, as well as a Courtyard by Marriott hotel.

Vision

• A launching pad for academic and medical institutions to enhance their leading-edge research programs in life sciences, biotechnology and bio/chemical engineering
• A destination for companies large and small – representing the entire continuum of life sciences product development: inception, refinement, and commercialization.
• A hub for the development and delivery of education and workforce training programs to support life sciences, bioengineering and biomanufacturing
• A vibrant community of young professionals; an environment that fosters the exchange of ideas among scientists, scholars, students and entrepreneurs
• A tranquil, tree-lined, landscaped mixed-use campus close to the cultural pulse of Worcester (Worcester Art Museum, Tuckerman Hall, Mechanics Hall, DCU Center, Institute Park)
• A new life to downtown Worcester by establishing a mixed-use destination which includes companies, residential areas, and retail establishments
