Breaking: FedEx is first client of U of M's private, for-profit company
It appears FedEx is moving some of it's L2 tech support to Campus. [1]

I haven't posted much about this here, but the UofM has a new private company called UMRF Ventures that is ran by former IP exec Thomas Kadien.

I believe they are building an office building on campus next to the new dorms.

It really depends. It could be a lot of different things. FedEx has a massive tech support team.

They're using space in an existing building, the FedEx Institute.

You are correct. [1] I should have check there news release.

I've heard some place else UMRF Ventures Inc will build a building, but I doubt that ever happens.
