East Texas Baptist University welcomed friends of the University for a showcase of the newly-renovated Synergy Park building, located in the heart of downtown Marshall on Tuesday, May 9.

Synergy Park, which stands at approximately 48,000 square feet, encompasses a dedicated center for workforce development, educational learning, business workspace cooperative, and community organizational networking (at 100 N. Bolivar Street, the former Capital One Bank Building). Synergy Park will empower community members to be workforce ready and to be equipped with skills needed in an evolving marketplace through the ETBU Workforce Training Center. The building sits adjacent to ETBU’s Marshall Grand, extending the University’s downtown academic learning and vocational training footprint.
