Ann Arbor's IMRA expansion nearly complete

Wednesday, June 10, 2009 | Source: Concentrate
Work is nearly complete on IMRA America's expansion in Ann Arbor. All that's left is the asphalt paving and landscaping at the facility on the eastern edge of town.

Now that construction is finished, the fiber laser company plans to start moving into the space slowly over the next year before hosting a grand opening next year.

"We have a lot of big equipment we need to move into the building," says Dennis Hawley, facilities manager for IMRA America.

The 20,000-square-foot expansion practically doubles the firm's space. That's all research-and-development space at the company's home on Woodbridge Avenue, just east of the city limits off Dixboro Road, north of Geddes Road. It plans to fill up that extra space with 20 new employees.

IMRA America is also applying for LEED certification for the expansion.
