According to the central laboratory and support services provider, the planned expansion, which will happen in three phases, comes in response to its 30% growth since 2017.
Phase one – yesterday announced as completed – expanded the LabConnect’s clinical sample kit-building and storage capabilities by more than 11,000 square feet.
Phase two of the expansion will add more offices and project management space, according to the company. In the third phase, the company will build out its PBMC laboratory capabilities.
The expansion is expected to be completed in September 2018.
