Groundbreaking makes way for $7 million iHub makerspace facility
April 5, 2024
A group of roughly 100 people gathered on a windy Thursday morning in downtown Norfolk to officially break ground on Northeast Community College’s newest facility.
iHub, when it opens in August 2025 near South Seventh Street and West Norfolk Avenue, will contain a fabrication lab, collaboration spaces and office space in downtown Norfolk. It’s intended to expand technical and educational opportunities for future employees so they can receive training in robotics and other high-tech industries.
