Lenovo is expanding its Whitsett, North Carolina operations with a $145 million investment in a new smart campus near the company’s fulfillment center, according to ConnectCRE.

The multi-million dollar project will be used to build servers and manufacture products for customers in North Carolina, and it expands the site’s footprint to 890,000 square feet, about twice its original size.

Manufacturing operations are already underway at the expanded facility, which was originally built in 2007, with more than 400 positions filled and hundreds of additional jobs expected as production continues to scale.

ConnectCRE also notes Lenovo received an incentive package from the Guilford County Board of Commissioners worth around $1.16 million, tied to the North Carolina Smart Campus.
