SUN MICROSYSTEMS TO CONSOLIDATE MASSACHUSETTS OFFICES IN CHELMSFORD

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- August 12, 1992 -- Sun Microsystems, Inc.,
announced today that it has signed a long-term lease for three
buildings in Chelmsford, Mass.  The 320,000 square feet of office and
production space in Altid Park will serve as the company's East Coast
headquarters and will consolidate four existing Sun offices located
throughout Massachusetts (Billerica, Andover, Methuen and Westford)
into a single "campus."

As part of the agreement with building owner Teacher's Realty Corp.,Sun
plans to lease an additional, existing building and has the option to
lease a fifth building and to purchase an adjacent parcel for the
construction of a new building.

The consolidation of offices will offer employees improved support
facilities and services and will give Sun a more united East Coast
presence.  Sun has 12,800 employees worldwide, with approximately 1,100
people located in the state of Massachusetts.  Relocation into the
Chelmsford campus will be complete by the end of 1993.

The following Sun Microsystems businesses will locate offices in
Chelmsford:  SunExpress headquarters (toll-free, quick delivery of
non-systems products); Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation
engineering (develops workstations and servers) and Westford Supply
Unit (manufacturing facility); Sun Microsystems Laboratories (research
and development arm); SunSelect (offers products that integrate UNIX(R)
systems with personal computing resources); and SunSoft (develops and
sells system software).

The project architects are Elkus/Manfredi of Boston and Robert Luchetti
Associates of Cambridge; the general contractors are Turner
Construction of Boston and Cutler Associates of Worcester.

As a large employer with several years of history in the Boston area,
Sun participates in the community through several programs.  In June
1992, the Sun Microsystems Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit charitable
organization, awarded $82,500 to seven organizations in the greater
Merrimack Valley north of Boston: Cambodian Mutual Assistance
Association of Greater Lowell, Inc.  (Lowell, Mass.); Coalition for a
Better Acre (Lowell, Mass.); Institute for Cooperative Community
Development/Working Capital (Manchester, N.H.); Junior Achievement of
Northern New England (Boston, Mass.); Lawrence Public Schools
(Lawrence, Mass.); Middlesex Community College (Lowell, Mass.); Thomas
Jefferson Forum (Boston, Mass.).
