<div dir="ltr">I was wondering what happened with A52, as the silence was a bit deafening. It sounds to me like they may be focusing more narrowly on being some sort of biotech incubator rather than a hackerlab or techshop kind of place. A bit of a shame, imo, as it doesn't seem like it leaves a lot of room for broader community involvement like a makerspace would have. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Tim<br></div></div></div></div>

I saw this article in the Enterprise recently -<br>

In essence, the former Moller Corporation/current Sierra Energy building<br>
which was going to become a tech hub-like space (with our Makerspace as<br>
possible tenants) -<br>

<br>
- is now 100% Sierra Energy. Area 52 is now Inventopia, currently focusing<br>
more on lab space in a much smaller warehouse near the Davis DMV.<br>
<br>
One wonders what will become of the old Moller wind tunnel...<br>
