The Innovation Hub is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Arkansans by inspiring innovation and expanding opportunities. Since the Hub’s opening in 2014, our state-of-the-art facilities have provided tools and training to entrepreneurs, students, and other makers, preparing them to join and grow Arkansas’s economic ecosystem.

We have some very exciting news to share. It is time for a new remodeling process to begin, and I want to personally invite you on this journey with us. You have watched us grow from using 3,000 square feet to using 22,000 square feet in our 109-year-old building over the past nine years. Now, we invite you to watch us become the home of Winrock International Headquarters. Our building will undergo internal remodeling as we prepare to become a unique headquarter facility equipped with incredible makerspace equipment and resources.

The first phase of construction planned for this year includes the creation of the first Best Buy Teen Tech Center in Arkansas in our current Art Gallery location and the first Solar Canopy in downtown North Little Rock in our parking lot, which will provide solar power to our building. We are thrilled to continue offering our classes and workshops and providing studio and workspace access in our building. Our 2023 Summer Camps will take place at St. Joseph Center of Arkansas, and our Mobile Makerspace will still be hitting the streets teaching STEAM programming around the state. The next phase of construction will be in 2024 to complete the remodeling needed to become Winrock International Headquarters, and we will keep you updated as we work through the planning stages.
