Armonk-based IBM wants to expand the Quantum computer facilities on its campus on South Road in the Town of Poughkeepsie by constructing approximately 511,710 square feet of new buildings. The 395-acre campus already has about 45 buildings containing more than 4-million square feet of space. The new construction would take place on the site of an unused parking lot and also cover the footprint of two existing buildings that would be demolished.

The project would involve constructing three new buildings. The largest would be  an approximately 467,450-square-feet Quantum Computing Center building. There also would be a new 7,660-square-feet utility building and a 36,600-square-feet generator building. The existing buildings to be demolished cover approximately 181,000 square feet. In addition to the buildings, the project will also include associated parking, drive aisles, utilities, landscaping, and lighting improvements.
