FANUC America, a supplier of CNCs, robotics and ROBOMACHINEs, announced a West Campus expansion that will push its operational space in Oakland County, Mich., to nearly two million square feet. The construction will include a 655,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility to house manufacturing, engineering and R&D projects.
The purchase includes 67 acres of land as well as the site of the former Thomas M. Cooley Law School Campus, which the company says will provide future growth in the education of the next generation of robotics and automation workers. Including the existing building, FANUC will add a total of 788,000 square feet of additional operational floor space.
