An Unusual Opportunity: Wet Lab Space in Maine's Central Startup Hub
For the first time in more than 8 years, the larger of our two wet labs at the UpStart Center for Entrepreneurship in Orono is becoming available. There are few such opportunities in the Greater Bangor area, or even in the northern half of the state.
The lab was built out in 2018 and has been occupied ever since, first by a clean tech startup and then by a division of UMaine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center.

The lab is equipped with:
Generator backup
Chemical-resistant benchtops
Compressed air connections
110/220V outlets
Center of room benchtop with drop-down electrical connection
Wet benchtop with sink and emergency eyewash station
Plumbed tap & purified water
Cabinet storage throughout labs
Tiled floors with floor drain
Connection for fume hood; fans already installed
On top of all of this, the lab comes with all the amenities the UpStart Center has to offer, including proximity to UMaine and I-95, shared conference rooms, a large kitchen and dining space, ample parking, and the camaraderie and services of a center devoted to innovation, technology, and a strong mix of startups and established organizations.
The lab is available in October. We would love to offer a tour and answer any questions you may have beforehand. Find out more on the specs page or view a floor plan here. We’d love to hear from you.
