Advantages

• Sought-After Location
  MTDC is located in the heart of the I-270 Technology Corridor, on the campus of the Shady Grove Life Sciences Center. You are a short walk away from major research institutions such as the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University. With easy access to I-270 and the Shady Grove and Rockville Metro stations, you are minutes away from the world-renowned NIH campus, FDA and 17 other major federal research, development and regulatory agencies, many of which are directly involved in various aspects of biotechnology.

• Plug & Play Office & Wet Lab Space
  MTDC offers wet lab space fully-fitted with work and lab benches, sinks and fume hood, and office space equipped with telephones and wired for broad band Internet connection. As soon as you move in, you are open for business.

• Lease Flexibility
  You only pay for what you need, when you need it. Start with just one or two offices or a small lab, and when you are ready, the MTDC will work with you to provide additional space as you grow. You pay rent only on what you actually occupy. In addition, you are not obligated to a long term lease that would commit more of your resources during the start-up stage.

• Shared Amenities
  Reception, conference and meeting rooms, loading docks, storage space, and office and lab equipment are shared amenities. Your rent includes the use of common space such as conference and meeting rooms and lab equipment. MTDC shared amenities help lower the overhead costs of operating your business.
