Wright State to dedicate 5 buildings in honor of Vishal Soin

Wright State University will dedicate the Vishal Soin Innovation Park at 11 a.m. Friday.

The dedication, in honor of the former chair of the WSU board of trustees, will take place inside the former corporate headquarters of the Wright-Patt Credit Union at 2455 Presidential Drive.

The Vishal Soin Innovation Park, which is supported by the Soin Family Foundation, is located on the south side of Colonel Glenn Highway, directly across from Wright State’s campus.

Comprised of five office buildings along or adjacent to Presidential Drive, the park provides more than 220,000 square feet of space, according to the university.

“The Vishal Soin Innovation Park allows us to expand the physical footprint of Wright State University and positions us even closer to the highly traveled Interstate 675 corridor,” said Wright State President David R. Hopkins. “Most importantly, the Vishal Soin Innovation Park will create new partnerships for research and innovation in the Dayton region.”

Soin, who is president of Soin LLC, served on the university’s board of trustees from 2006 to 2015, including two years as board chair from 2010 to 2012, according to the university. Vishal Soin is the son of Raj Soin, for whom Wright State’s college of business is named after.
