Syracuse University officials on May 15 gave local media members a tour of the construction site which is bordered by Waverly Avenue, South Crouse Avenue, and Marshall Street near the Syracuse campus. The NVRC should be ready to open in early 2020, Syracuse and LeChase officials said.
The NVRC will “leverage a public-private sector partnership model to nurture academic research, actionable programming, and collaborative thought leadership positioned to impact veterans and their families” on campus, in New York, and across the nation.
Its five-year impact will include generating $300 million in regional economic activity and creating more than 300 direct and indirect jobs, Syracuse contends.
The NVRC’s tenants will include Syracuse’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families; Office of Veteran and Military Affairs; Army Reserve Officer Training Corps; Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps; Student Veterans Resource Center; Regional Veterans Resource Center; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs “Vet-Success on Campus;” National Center of Excellence for Veteran Business Ownership; and flex office space for local, county and state government veterans representatives and community-based veterans organizations.
The venue will also include a research center, a veteran business outreach center and accelerator, and a regional cultural center and museum.
