Currently, the building houses several businesses not affiliated with Gannon.
But Gannon will handle their leases and support their transitions.

Over the next couple of years Gannon plans to pump more than 5 million dollars into the building.

The goal is to make it an integrated center featuring Dahlkemper School of Business, Gannon's Erie Technology Incubator and the Gannon University Small Business Development Center.
