CSA joined today in a groundbreaking ceremony at Sandia Science and Technology Park in Albuquerque. The event signaled start of construction on the Sandia Synergy Center, a 28,650-square-foot, multi-tenant building in the park. CSA’s Mark Mimovich, Director of New Mexico Operations, hoisted a shovel full of earth with Albuquerque’s mayor and other dignitaries.

CSA is scheduled to occupy 8300 square feet of space following completion of construction in August. The building will be located at the corner of Research Road and Innovation Parkway. It will allow CSA to quadruple its space for assembly, integration and test, and will include expanded office and meeting space, as well as dedicated facilities for development and test of control systems for optics.
