Downtown Retail Lab In partnership with WVU’s Community Engagement Lab, Main Street Morgantown hopes to transform its former office on High Street into a retail lab accelerator to give cohort members, students, and community creatives opportunities to sell their work on consignment and receive specific feedback on their products. In true community collaboration, The Retail Lab’s highly visible space will be curated and run by students in WVU’s Fashion, Design and Merchandising Program, allowing University students to garner real-life experience in retail, sales, merchandising and buying.
