Emergent has doubled the Bayview facility’s footprint to 112,000 square feet with investments to the original 56,000-square-foot facility purchased by the company in 2009. The facility, comprised of laboratory, manufacturing and office space, offers flexible manufacturing of drug substance from microbial, cell culture or viral production platforms and is equipped with disposable manufacturing technology to enable Emergent to meet the government’s domestic preparedness priorities on a cost-effective, reliable and sustainable basis. The new suite within the expanded facility is expected to come online with cGMP production capabilities in late 2018.
