Illumina Expands into i3 Campus

Register for Connect Healthcare on November 8th at the Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Spa

Illumina expanded into its i3 campus, a 316,000-square-foot facility in San Diego developed by BioMed Realty. The seven-acre complex, located near the biotech giant’s HQ in University City, includes three buildings that were redeveloped into a modern outdoor work environment with open-style space.

The site includes a 33,500-square-foot courtyard, gym, restaurant, 60 phone booths, and a wealth of meeting space, for formal presentations or smaller huddle rooms. The campus is located at 4775 and 4785 Executive Drive, and features cantilevered buildings perched over Interstate 805.

The buildings’ office space will house finance, marketing and other executives who convert researchers’ inventions and findings into products and services. Nearly 3,000 of Illumina’s 7,000 total employees are based in San Diego.
