Stroud shares that the goal of this $ 250 million project is to connect Marshall ’ s campus to downtown Huntington . The innovation district will include many different amenities , one being a new cybersecurity building .
“ Thanks to the state ’ s allocation of $ 45 million , we ’ re embarking on the construction of a new cybersecurity institute at the intersection of Hal Greer Boulevard and 4th Avenue ,” Stroud shares . “ Housed within a new mixed-use innovation district , this 70,000-square-foot facility will be designated as a Center of Excellence by the Department of Defense . We ’ re enthusiastic about this partnership and the crucial infrastructure initiatives we ’ ll undertake for the national security of our country .”
Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center is also moving to the innovation district .
“ We will repurpose the one remaining building on the old ACF Industries manufacturing site in Huntington into a state-of-the-art welding and robotics center ,” says Mike Friel , director of communication . “ This will enable us to boost our capacity for welding and manufacturing , nearly doubling the number of students we serve .”
In addition to its educational successes , Marshall is taking great strides in the health care industry with a newly integrated academic health system . Marshall Health Network is composed of four hospitals , including Cabell Huntington Hospital , St . Mary ’ s Medical Center , Hoops Family Children ’ s Hospital and Rivers Health , along with Marshall Health , the newly integrated group practice .
