The County embarked on this ambitious project in order to share resources, consolidate and increase efficiencies. Originally, the corporate headquarters for Pharmaceutical firms, the “Block Drug” building conversion will consist of a 340,000 SF interior renovation and associated exterior improvements with site upgrades of the seven-story building located at 257 Cornelison Avenue.  The project was a multi-phase build out allowing the County to begin moving several programs, services and departments into the building in November of 2007.

The first occupants include the Sheriff’s office, operations division, patrol and 911, the health clinic and the Rutgers co-op program. The remainder of departments which included, the Department of Family Services, County Clerk, County Register, Board of Elections, Director of Public Resources, Tax Assessment, County Surrogate, Court Administration, Building Services and Maintenance and Facility Management moved in at the project completion in December 2008.

This facility houses over 1/3 of the County’s personnel.
