At the Intersection of Research, Innovation, and Partnership

George Mason’s Science and Technology Campus (SciTech) in Manassas, Virginia, is a catalyst for discovery and economic growth in the region and beyond. Home to cutting-edge research facilities, nationally recognized academic programs, and a thriving network of public and private partners, SciTech is the anchor of the emerging Innovation District—a collaborative ecosystem that accelerates breakthroughs in life sciences, semiconductors, aerospace, defense, cybersecurity, and more.

With the Freedom Aquatics and Fitness Center and the Hylton Performing Center, the SciTech Campus is more than an academic island. These centers were both created through tripartite agreements with Prince William County and the City of Manassas, and support the greater community with physical and artistic programming.

Your support powers the research, facilities, and partnerships that shape the future of science, technology, and our community.

The SciTech Campus represents the best of George Mason; forward-looking, collaborative, and deeply connected to the community it serves.
