Quintiles officially opened its expanded regional headquarters facility in Singapore’s Science Park I. The new facility doubles the size of the company’s previous space in Singapore and provides additional room for future expansion.
Quintiles is leasing a total of 79,000 sq.-ft. of space in the new Cintech IV building, which is capable of accommodating approximately 550 employees when fully occupied.
The new, 13,000-sq.-ft. central lab facility doubles the size of the previous Singapore lab, providing the additional space necessary to accommodate the demand for central lab services in the region. The lab facility provides globally harmonized lab services and plans are underway to expand these capabilities to include an assay development lab (ADL) and an anatomic pathology lab.
“Quintiles’ expansion today, to make Singapore its strategic home-base in Asia to drive regional expansion, represents a strong endorsement of Singapore’s capabilities in regional clinical trial coordination and research. Coupled with our capabilities in translational research, pharmaceutical and biotech companies can leverage Singapore as a one-stop location to carry out through-train drug discovery and development,” said Gan Kim Yong, Minister for Manpower, Singapore.
