SPOKANE, WA McKinstry announces that Nuvodia - a technology services organization that develops, implements, and manages leading edge IT solutions for its clients - is the newest tenant in its McKinstry Innovation Center in Spokane, Washington.

"Nuvodia is a wonderful addition to the McKinstry Innovation Center," said Kim Pearman-Gillman, Director of Strategic Market Development for McKinstry. "They bring a cutting-edge practice that aligns well with the Center's four focus areas, furthering the mutual benefits tenants experience by being within such close proximity to each other."

The McKinstry Innovation Center in Spokane is located at the SIERR Building at McKinstry Station, a historic electric railcar depot that serves as the base for McKinstry's Inland Northwest operations. Nuvodia's 80 employees will join the Innovation Center's 24 current tenants representing innovators in the high-tech, clean tech, life sciences, and education sectors, as well as the recently announced manufacturing startup incubator, Toolbox.

"Nuvodia is thrilled to be joining Spokane's most unique business accelerator," said Jon Copeland, CEO, Nuvodia. "I find it a wonderful coincidence that the history of the Innovation Center building is tied to the industrial revolution and the space is now beautifully reborn to once again enable the same raw spirit of innovation."

Their client base in the Puget Sound-region includes Pacific Medical Center, Providence Health and Services, Seattle Radiology, and Philips Healthcare.

Nuvodia is expanding into other areas of medical imaging, such as pathology, where traditional glass slides are now on a digital platform. The company works with customers to access the cloud for data storage, and is currently working with Spokane-based Avista Corp. to migrate the energy grid to the "smart grid."
