When completed next summer, the new facilities will house about 700 workers from HP worksites in Roseville, Rocklin and Lincoln. Prompting the new construction is an increased demand for HP 9000 servers, used by industries such as banking, food processing, retail, distribution, manufacturing and online service providing.
Demand is up, so more room is needed.
HP 3000 computers will also be assembled and shipped from the site, which will be designed for future expansion to 900,000 square feet. A third new building, HP's 300,000 square-foot Customer Service Support Business Center, started in August of 1997, will be completed and ready for occupancy this month. Existing operations on site are going well and growing, and we needed a place to grow into. Progress on both projects, although two different facilities in two different locations, has gone well, Hargarten noted. The whole planning process with the City of Roseville and Placer County has gone very smoothly from our point of view.
