Aurobindo is building a new 170,000-square-foot building on the Aurobindo campus, a state-of-the art pharmaceutical manufacturing facility on Windsor Center Drive.

The new building will join the existing 606,620 square foot Aurobindo building constructed in 2016 and the previously acquired 43,000 square foot Patscenter building on the Company’s campus along Princeton Hightstown Road.

In January 2017, Aurobindo transformed the East Windsor campus into the company’s North American headquarters and moved all administrative offices to the adjoining existing Patscenter building.

The Patscenter was designed by renowned British architect Sir Richard Rogers who is known for the Pompidou Cultural Center in Paris.

The new Aurobindo facility will expand the single-stream manufacturing process of generic pharmaceuticals from manufacturing, to packaging, to shipping while maintaining the integrity between products and processes.
