Metabolix, Inc. announced that it has signed a 10.5 year lease agreement for 30,000 square feet of laboratory and office space at 19 Presidential Way in Woburn, Massachusetts. Metabolix expects to take occupancy of the space as its corporate headquarters in June 2016 as it exits space in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Metabolix's relocation to 19 Presidential Way will provide laboratory facilities and office space, as well as shared conference facilities.

Metabolix plans to exit office space it currently occupies in Lowell, Massachusetts in May 2017 and to consolidate its biopolymers sales, marketing and administrative offices and biopolymers research and development laboratories in the new Woburn facility. The new laboratory facilities will include a microbial fermentation lab and an expanded biopolymers applications development lab. Pending the spinout of its Yield10 crop science program, Metabolix will also relocate its Massachusetts based crop science laboratory and personnel to the new facility in Woburn.
