    The University of Connecticut regional campus at Avery Point, Groton is located on the Connecticut shore with its enviable view over Long Island Sound. It is a truly delightful setting for a start-up company.

The new space will cost $20 per square foot annually, with a $2 increase per square foot per year. In addition, the Avery Point campus continues to operate its older lab space at a rate of $12 per square foot annually, with a $2 increase per square foot per year.
