The Innovation District encompasses about 1.3 square miles east of downtown Oklahoma City, between NE 13-16th Streets to the north, NE 4th St. to the south, and Robinson and Lottie Avenues to the west and east. It crosses Broadway/Interstate 235 and includes Automobile Alley in addition to the Oklahoma Health Center, University Research Park, the Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education (OAIRE) and numerous other institutions. The District is also home to the city’s bioscience sector, where many institutions are already conducting groundbreaking research and fostering entrepreneurship and innovation.
