Fluor is providing architectural and engineering services and procuring equipment for the new 275,000 square-foot manufacturing facility that will house two manufacturing lines to double manufacturing capability. The completed facility will provide for the synthesis, purification and lyophilization of Agilent’s custom nucleic acids therapeutics, also known as oligonucleotides or oligos.
Oligos are short deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules that serve as the active pharmaceutical ingredients for drugs targeting a growing number of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and rare and infectious diseases. Construction is underway with completion expected by 2026.
