A groundbreaking ceremony will take place Monday for the new home of the Center for Design Innovation in the Piedmont Triad Research Park.
The CDI supports creative design as an economic development tool in the region, with a particular focus on motion-capture and rapid prototyping technologies.
The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. in the research park's Southern District, where the University of North Carolina system acquired four acres for the building. About $13 million has been set aside in past state budgets to pay for the facility.
Also on Monday, the CDI will host an open house in its temporary facility in Winston Tower from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and an "Idea Exchange" on the design of the new building from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Learn more.

CDI Receives Grant to Create a National Network of Diverse Expertise to Support Innovation
The Center for Design Innovation (CDI) has received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a national Network of Excellence for Science, Engineering, Arts and Design.
CDI will receive $43,493 to work with Texas A&M University and the Maryland Institute College of Art over the next few months to bring together researchers and research practices that bridge computer science, engineering and creativity. The effort follows prior meetings funded by NSF in which researchers considered methods for interdisciplinary work and its potential for innovation and education. Read more.
