Bay­er plots a ma­jor facelift at Berke­ley cam­pus, un­cork­ing a 30-year, $1.2B plan to dri­ve cell and gene ther­a­pies

Bay­er first set roots in Berke­ley back in 1974, when it was still op­er­at­ing as Miles Labs. The site has pumped out three he­mo­phil­ia A treat­ments for dis­tri­b­u­tion world­wide; but now, as the phar­ma con­tin­ues its cell and gene ther­a­py push, it has some­thing big­ger in mind.

Bay­er is plan­ning a 30-year re­vamp at the cam­pus, which in­cludes 918,000 square feet in new build­ings and dou­ble the jobs, ac­cord­ing to a re­port by the Bay Area Coun­cil Eco­nom­ic In­sti­tute.
