Arkansas Research & Technology Park Master Plan

Leading edge research facilities and a growing entrepreneurial culture make land adjacent to the University's Engineering Research Center and GENESIS Technology Incubator the logical choice for development of the ARTP. Located only five minutes from the University's main campus, our corporate partners benefit from the considerable intellectual and physical assets of a major research institution. The site's proximity to Fayetteville's Central Business District also affords convenient access to financial, legal and related commercial support services.

Key features included in the proposed master plan include:

• Carefully organized building clusters, offering a wide array of floor sizes, which can respond to specific project requirements 
• A strong community aspect, both within the research park and its relationship to surrounding property development and the resulting centers of activity 
• Clustered, well-landscaped parking within the property, enhancing the visual character of the project 
• Establishment of a well-designed, landscaped internal road system including a hierarchy of streets, that will provide access to the site from several points, as well as between buildings 
• Use of an abandoned railway line for an internal vehicular route, connecting the ARTP with the supporting public and private development 
• Preservation and  enhancement of existing natural features, including streams and wooded areas 
• Inclusion of mixed-use amenities, such as dining facilities, lounge spaces, outdoor spaces and trails, parks and plazas.
