Welcome to New York: Micron selects an office location as megafab progresses

Since we first announced in 2022 that Clay had been chosen as the site of our leading-edge memory megafab, we’ve been popping up across Central New York – from town halls, to Chip Camps at local schools, to a museum exhibit that’s been visited by thousands of children, families and even the President of the United States.

Now, Micron is getting ready to appear in a new location: the Syracuse skyline.

All about our office

Micron will be setting up shop inside Downtown Syracuse’s One Lincoln Center on West Fayette Street – and soon, adding our logo atop the building that will be seen by New Yorkers entering the city.

Micron’s planned office space in One Lincoln Center will help house local Procurement and Facilities Construction teams, as well as Operations, Government and Public Affairs, and People team members in the years ahead. Micron’s office will also include a street-level space for a community welcome and recruitment center. That space will serve as the hub for people from across the region to drop in to learn more about the project and to access recruiting resources as we build up our local workforce.

The interior spaces will be designed and outfitted to fit Micron’s needs. We’re thrilled to be partnering with E. Smith Contractors, a local Black owned business who shares our commitment to partnering with New York Minority, Women and Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (MWVBEs) as a part of our expansion efforts in New York. More information on an official opening will be released as the space gets move-in-ready ahead of next year.
 

More than a space for team members

Micron’s presence in the City of Syracuse is about much more than finding ample space for our teams’ needs a short drive from the White Pine Commerce Park project site in Clay. Working closely with many local officials and institutions, Micron has seen that Downtown is an ideal hub at the core of Central New York for collaboration on community initiatives, building out the local supply chain and workforce development.

Last year, Micron started hiring full-time positions locally. From roles in facilities construction and environmental compliance to supplier diversity and external affairs, we are building a local team that will help maximize the potential – and benefits – of the Clay project.

Micron is now offering a variety of opportunities to work on the Central New York project as part of the Facilities Construction and Procurement teams. More on those opportunities can be found at micron.com/about/careers.

Filling out our new office space with skilled people who not only can help drive our Central New York operations forward, but who can also serve as Micron ambassadors, is just a first step. There’s much more to come in the years ahead as we prepare to start producing leading-edge memory chips that will power the world’s next great innovations.
