Merck KGaA blueprints a $115M 'collaboration campus' for Massachusetts
Merck KGaA is joining the global migration to the greater Boston biotech hub.
The German biopharma is building a new life sciences campus in Burlington, styling the 280,000-square-foot facility as a “customer collaboration laboratory and training center.” And it’s one of 9 collaboration complexes planned for Brazil, China, France, India, Singapore and South Korea.
The company is spending $115 million on the project, with room left for a 70,000-square-foot addition, if it needs it. Merck’s subsidiary, MilliporeSigma, will relocate its 850 full-time Billerica-based employees when construction is complete in the second half of 2017.
