Texas State University has officially opened its first research facility -- STAR One -- at its 38 acre Science, Technology, and Advanced Research Park. The facility serves as a technology incubator for start-up companies. The goal is to collaborate with these companies and conduct research and development for new products. STAR One officials say companies are already starting to move into the facility and are expected to begin research in January. The park is located south of the main campus at McCarty Lane and Hunter Road.
