Port San Antonio Board Okays $60M Innovation Center

The Port San Antonio board of directors approved construction of a full-spectrum innovation center that will significantly advance the organization’s Tech Port vision. Spanning 130,000 square feet, the project is budgeted at $60 million, which will be funded through a commercial loan.
The building’s key components under a single roof will serve multiple functions simultaneously. They include:

• A 2,500-seat technology arena that can be configured for different uses, including esports competitions, concerts, product launches and large training programs.

• Space that will serve as the new home of the San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology.

• Integrated classrooms and meeting spaces to further support educational programs, smaller industry meetings and collaboration among different partners and their clients.

• A research and development lab that will provide scalable space and prototyping / fabrication equipment to support the work of startups.

• A large 24-hour electronic gaming area and a full-scale food hall.
