North Potomac, Md.
Human Genome Sciences hopes to relocate its 600 employees from Rockville, Md., to a 45-acre headquarters in North Potomac. Preliminary plans for the new campus: a 400,000-sf to 500,000-sf initial build-out, with the potential for up to one million sf. Pending approval by the Montgomery County Planning Board in July, final relocation plans will be ready by fall. Construction could begin by summer 2001, with move-in sometime in 2003. Head-count at the facility could reach 2,500 over the next several years.
