SC Johnson announced a $50 million to $80 million renovation to modernize its global headquarters campus in Racine. Construction will begin in spring 2016 and take approximately two years to complete.
This is in addition to SC Johnson’s $28 million purchase of the former Sealed Air building in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, earlier this year. The property will be renamed the Sam Johnson Campus in honor of SC Johnson’s fourth-generation family leader. The building is 280,000 square feet. The company will begin moving teams onto the Sam Johnson Campus in spring 2016.
The company also announced it would be relocating 175 positions from Racine to Chicago within the next 12 months to two years. No jobs are being eliminated as part of the move. The move will give SC Johnson the opportunity to infuse the company with an even broader world-class talent base and diversify its business locations. A location has not yet been determined for SC Johnson’s new office space in Chicago.
