Quintiles Transnational Corp. has announced plans to expand and consolidate its Global Central Laboratories (GCL) in Smyrna, GA, and its Clinical Development Services (CDS) office in Atlanta within a single structure in nearby Marietta, GA.

The 201,366-square-foot, three-story structure in Marietta will more than double the combined space now occupied by GCL and CDS, allowing for the addition of about 400 jobs through 2011. Renovation of the structure is expected to begin the third quarter of 2007, with the first groups of employees scheduled to move during the second quarter of 2008.

“For our Global Central Laboratories, this is another expansion to accommodate the growth of our business, following the additions of labs in China and India and expansion of our lab in Scotland,” said Dennis Gillings, CBE, chairman and chief executive officer of Quintiles Transnational. “The increasing demand for our CDS and laboratory services is driving the need to expand, and we’re taking this opportunity to bring our Atlanta units together to improve coordination and efficiency for our customers.”

The project is being managed by Solution Property Group and renovation is being done by Purdum Construction of Kansas City, MO. Quintiles is investing $19 million in the project, along with an $11 million incentive package developed by Cobb County, the Georgia Cancer Coalition, the Georgia Research Alliance and the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
