Design elements incorporated in the building include more than 30 DuPont materials such as DuPont™ Tyvek® CommercialWrap® and Mohawk SmartStrand® with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer carpeting. Tyvek® Weatherization Systems can reduce energy costs by up to 20 percent annually. SmartStrand® carpeting saves the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline on average for every seven square yards of carpet used because it is made with renewable materials. In addition, lighting in the Innovation Center is provided by a 37.8 kilowatt solar panel array located on the roof that includes DuPont photovoltaic materials. A full list of materials is attached below.

DuPont has collaborated with the Delaware Department of Education to conduct 24 biotechnology seminars for high school students, providing six programs per year, beginning in 2006 at the Experimental Station or at appropriate sites throughout Delaware. As part of today’s event, nearly 20 Delaware high school teachers attended a workshop in the Innovation Center on microbiology evolution conducted by DuPont scientists and Department of Education personnel while nearly 120 high school students and teachers from public and charter schools across Delaware attended a biotechnology career path seminar.
