Jones will head Harvard innovation lab
Gordon S. Jones has been named the director of the Harvard innovation lab, an initiative set to launch later this year that aims to foster team-based and entrepreneurial activities, Harvard University said today.
Part of the lab's mandate is to also provide a forum, both physically and virtually, for interactions among students, faculty, alumni, and the surrounding community, Harvard said in a press release.
Along with the Harvard Business School, the lab will occupy space at 125 Western Ave. in Allston, a building that formerly housed the WGBH-TV offices and studios. The lab will "complement Mayor Thomas M. Menino's Innovation agenda and help revitalize Western Avenue," the release added.
Jones's resume includes stints at Universal Pest Solutions, American Biophysics Corp., and Gillette Co., Harvard said.
