Designed by the architecture firm, Cooper Carry, the new training center is located directly across from the site of Baxalta's $1 billion biomanufacturing facility in Social Circle. The training center is owned by the state of Georgia and operated by Georgia Quick Start, a division of the Technical College System of Georgia. Overall, the facility will be a key component of the state's long-term initiative to promote and grow the life science industries. The new training center is currently dedicated to Baxalta training and includes flexible space to accommodate the training needs of additional life sciences companies that choose to locate or expand in Georgia.
