The Almac Group opened its new North American Headquarters in Souderton, PA. The $120 million, 240,000-sq.-ft. headquarters has more than 800 employees and has brought approximately 300 new hires to the greater Philadelphia area.

The new headquarters includes a three-story office and administration building, as well as a building for the production, analysis and distribution of clinical trial supplies. It was designed by Francis Cauffman Architects of Philadelphia and built by Skanska USA. The design aims to maintain sustainability with low greenhouse gas emissions and a full water reclamation program.

Alan Armstrong, Almac’s chief executive officer, said, “Sir Allen McClay once said, ‘If you’re going to launch a big ship, you have to go where the water is deep.’ He loved growth, development, success and quality and we’ll see all of that in this building.”
