As a result, the center and its new downtown location expect to be at capacity by summer. In preparation, the Shelby Campus center has begun renovating the 1,200-square-foot TechCube, a cluster of cubicles where entrepreneurs can develop business plans, with computer and phone access plus use of an on-site conference room.
