Center HQ Closes for Half Day Friday for Renovations

The Research Triangle Park headquarters of the North Carolina Biotechnology Center are closed for half a day, starting at noon Friday, July 23, to accommodate building renovations.

The closure is to make way for construction workers to revise flooring and do other projects associated with connecting the original Biotechnology Center building, built in 1992, to the 20,000-square-foot, four-story addition.

Some 200 construction jobs have been supported by the $10.4 million project, started last July with a combination of public and private funding.

Biotechnology Center employees will occupy the new addition this fall.
