Gannon University’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has a new home on campus, marking an exciting step in its continued mission to support entrepreneurs and small business owners. 

The SBDC recently moved from its longtime location in the former Center for Business Ingenuity at 900 State Street to a dedicated space within ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ’s Center for Advanced Engineering at 130 West 8th Street in Erie.  

This move positions the SBDC closer to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ’s business and engineering hubs, strengthening collaboration and access to campus resources that drive small business success. The transition follows the relocation of the Dahlkemper School of Business to the Palumbo Academic Center across the street, as well as the university’s decision earlier this year to list the Center for Business Ingenuity building for sale. 

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ has proudly hosted the SBDC since 1981. The center offers accredited, no-cost consulting services for entrepreneurs and small business owners and has served more than 17,000 clients since its founding.  

“We are excited to continue serving the community in our new location on ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ’s campus,” said Maggie Horne, MBA, CVA, director of the SBDC. “We will continue to collaborate with campus partners to provide strategic solutions that help businesses start, grow and prosper.”
