Idexx plans $60 million headquartersin Maine
Idexx Laboratories announced plans Tuesday to build a $60 million corporate headquarters that could accommodate 700 new employees in Westbrook.
The project is scheduled to start in September with construction of a $30 million, 107,000-square-foot building that will house offices for a 300-person administrative staff, a fitness center and a food service area. It is expected to open in August 2013 next to the company’s existing facility on Eisenhower Drive.
The timing for the second phase, an adjacent 100,000-square-foot administrative building for 400 employees, depends on how fast the company continues to grow, said Dick Daigle, director of facilities for Idexx, which makes veterinary testing products.
