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 Moderna Science Center (MSC). The MSC accommodates 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. As of December 31, 2024, we have substantially exited our leased spaces at Technology Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, completing the consolidation of our Cambridge operations into the MSC. The MSC 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 722,000 square feet which includes lab and office space, directly supporting our manufacturing capabilities and commercial and clinical activities. In December 2024, we completed the acquisition of the MTC campus, including the underlying land and buildings. This acquisition transitioned the facilities from leased to owned properties, providing greater operational flexibility and long-term stability in supporting our manufacturing and development capabilities.

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 have state-of-the-art mRNA manufacturing areas, including a full manufacturing clean room, quality control laboratories, and a just-in-time satellite warehouse. We expect the facility to be operational in 2025. This new site is strategically intended to support our INT program.

In September 2024, we completed our manufacturing facility in Laval, Quebec, Canada, which received a Drug Establishment License (DEL) from Health Canada. This certification enables the facility to produce drug substance and positions it to manufacture mRNA vaccines, including COVID, RSV, and seasonal influenza, contingent on Health Canada’s approval, starting in 2025. The site strengthens our global manufacturing capabilities and supports the Government of Canada’s pandemic readiness and vaccine supply objectives.

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