Coldstream Research Campus, in Lexington, Kentucky, is home to 66 research and development companies, many with ties to University of Kentucky.[1] Over 2,000 employees work on the 735-acre campus in agricultural biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, equine health, engineering technology, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and software/IT.[2] Some companies are graduates of ASTeCC, UK's high-tech business incubator, others have licensed UK intellectual property or are clients of the Von Allmen Center for Entrepreneurship.[3][4][5]
HP, Tempur Sealy International,[6] A&W Restaurants,[7] Allconnect, and Bingham McCutchen LLP[8] have headquarters or regional offices at Coldstream. Eastern State Hospital, an inpatient psychiatric treatment center and brain injury research center operated by UK HealthCare, opened in September 2013.[9] Coldstream Research Campus houses 21 buildings consisting of 1.3 million square feet of floor space.
The current site of the Coldstream Research Campus has historical significance. It was once a famous horse farm owned by Hal Price McGrath and had strong ties to thoroughbred horse racing. In fact, in 1875, a horse named Aristides was raised on this site. Aristides won the very first Kentucky Derby.[10]
