Chiron Corp. is seeking approval from the city of Emeryville to begin construction in summer 2002 on a new 365,000-sf lab and office complex at its Emeryville headquarters.  The new facility would expand Chiron’s manufacturing space for drugs awaiting approval. If approved, the expansion could take up to two years to complete.  Construction of a 1,000-space parking structure for the new building is already nearing completion. Chiron’s agreement with the city of Emeryville provides for the construction of up to 2.2-million sf of lab, office, parking, and support structures at the 24-acre site, but approval must still be sought for each new building.
