SAN DIEGO—BNBuilders says it is about to begin construction on the Illumina manufacturing expansion in San Diego. The firm will perform the interior build-out of a new 300,000-square-foot facility to expand Illumina's existing San Diego operations.

As part of the expansion team from the conceptual stage, BNBuilders is providing both pre-construction and construction services to Illumina. The project will include the expansion of the central plant, and the interior build-out of the shell into a manufacturing facility, warehouse, as well as labs, office and general support space. Designed by Ewing Cole, the Illumina expansion is projected to be complete in late 2016.
