Item 2. Properties

We have two main campuses in Massachusetts. During the third quarter of 2023, we commenced a lease for a property in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This building, spanning approximately 462,000 square feet, is designated as our new Moderna Science Center (MSC). The MSC will accommodate a combination of scientific and office spaces, including our principal executive offices. The lease has a term of 15 years, with options for us to extend the lease for up to two additional seven-year terms. We expect to begin a phased move-in process starting in early 2024. Additionally, we occupy a multi-building campus at Technology Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, consisting of a mix of offices and research laboratory space, totaling approximately 292,000 square feet. The lease will expire in early 2025. The Cambridge campus is the location of our corporate headquarters, platform, drug discovery and clinical development.

The Moderna Technology Center (MTC) is located in Norwood, Massachusetts and is primarily comprised of three buildings (MTC South, MTC North and MTC East). The MTC campus is approximately 686,000 square feet which includes lab and office space, directly supporting our manufacturing capabilities and commercial and clinical activities. The MTC campus is leased through 2042 and we have the option to extend it for three additional five-year terms.

In the second quarter of 2023, we acquired a newly constructed biomanufacturing facility, encompassing 140,000 square feet, in Marlborough, Massachusetts. This facility is undergoing enhancements, including the addition of 60,000 square feet to the existing structure. Upon completion, the facility will feature office and mRNA manufacturing areas, including a full manufacturing clean room, quality control laboratories, a just-in-time satellite warehouse, and additional office spaces. We expect the facility to be operational in 2025. This new site is strategically intended to support our INT program.

We also own and lease various parcels of land, office and lab spaces across the globe for our business operations.
