JDS Uniphase Completes Two Build-outs Totaling 113,000 SF

EATONTOWN, NJ-JDS Uniphase, the Ottawa, Ont.-based provider of passive fiber optic components, has completed two projects in New Jersey, one an expansion, the other a new facility. Sweetwater Construction Corp., based in Cranbury, NJ, was the construction manager for both projects.

In the first, JDS Uniphase added 43,000 sf to its existing facility in Eatontown, with the build-out fast-tracked in a seven-week schedule. The project included HVAC upgrades, extensive plumbing upgrades and a compressed air distribution system for use in cleaning electronic equipment. The space includes 25,000 sf of electrostatic dissipative flooring.

And in Piscataway, NJ, the company has moved into a 70,000-sf technical facility that merges the operations of JDS Uniphase, SDL and Veritech. The build-out was completed on a fast-tracked 14-week schedule by Sweetwater . It includes an administrative area and 35,000 sf of conductive flooring, as well as new building systems. Rothe-Johnson-Fantacone was the architect for both JDS Uniphase projects.
