The N.C. Biotechnology Center (BioTech Center) is starting a $10.4 million addition to its headquarters in Research Triangle Park, adding 20,000 sf of office and conference space. The expansion is aiming for a LEED Silver certification.

The original 47,000-square-foot center was built to house 50 employees. It's now pushing 65.

Construction is planned to begin in October and is expected to be completed in fall 2010. The job is being managed by Skanska, which also built the Durham Performing Arts Center. The designers are Charlotte architectural firm Perkins+Will, which designed the original building.
