Vandermeulen Innovation Hub
The Center will soon be in the Vandermeulen Innovation Hub in the Horne Academic Center (now under construction), through a generous donation from longtime alumna and friend of the University Elaine (Brunz ’62) Vandermeulen.
Vandermeulen's late husband, Gordon ’65, owned Grand Rapids Bolt & Nut Company/Great Lakes Fasteners for 40 years. He was an entrepreneur who grew many businesses and was involved in several business and community organizations, and also a longtime supporter of Taylor University.
He died in 2019 after a lifetime of faithful service.
This space will create a common location for students to work on their ideas, meet with visiting entrepreneurial professionals, and build connections.
