The expanded center would support four functions, according to the presentation:
- Core interdisciplinary graduate degrees and programs, comprising the three schools and offerings from the University of Maine College of Engineering and Computing;
- Professional development and executive education, responding to needs from Maine industries, the workforce and business leaders;
- Entrepreneurship and innovation, providing resources to advance research, development, product commercialization and ultimately economic development
- Convening and knowledge-sharing, through hosting events, scholars, leaders and others to address Maine's challenges”

UMS grad school center in Portland's Old Port plans to expand next door, doubling space
The still-new home to the University of Maine School of Law in Portland may soon expand to a newer home next door, and the process is already underway.
