Demand for entrepreneurship and innovation opportunities, facilities and classes is far outpacing the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's ability to meet those needs in terms of space and programs, according to a report commissioned by the university.
"We're bursting at the seams," said Vladimir Bulovic, associate dean for innovation in the School of Engineering and co-author of the preliminary report. "There is a tremendous drive by students for more and more entrepreneurial activity."
The report says many classes and facilities are far too popular to serve everyone, finding:
• A student machine shop that has a six-month, 200-student wait list.
• More than 1,000 applicants for the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition.
• More than 3,000 students — out of roughly 11,000 — who take an innovation and entrepreneurship class each year.
The report recommends a number of solutions, including a co-working space for recent MIT graduates, the construction of two "Innovation Hubs" on campus, and the creation of the Laboratory for Innovation Science and Policy, a department that would study the innovation process and how to foster it.
"We need to provide our students an even better education so they can make an impact," Bulovic said. "Today's students want to make a difference tomorrow with the stuff they learn today."
The report's authors are hosting community briefings — the first on Monday — to solicit feedback before revising and finalizing it next year.
