The East Campus' high-tech business incubator occupies one of the four wings of the main 384,000 square foot research building. Current tenants include bioscience, chemical, and nanotech companies. The main attractions of the incubator include its proximity to the resources on the East Campus, and in particular, the staff and equipment at the Center for Functional Genomics (CFG), which give tenants fee-for-service access to essential research services. The incubator offers updated laboratory space, office space, conference facilities, and support services including reception and access to standard office equipment such as photocopiers and fax machines. The incubator also has a monthly mentoring workshop for bioscience entrepreneurs and inventors. All tenants have access to the University at Albany's Small Business Development Center, a joint venture with the University at Albany, the Small Business Administration, and the State of New York located at the University's Harriman campus.
