VGXI Headquarters + Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility

Conroe, Texas

VGXI, a highly regarded CDMO supporting the gene therapy and DNA vaccine industries, called upon Pernix to design and build its new greenfield manufacturing facility. The initial phase of the project quintuples the company’s current production capacity. Located in Deison Technology Park in Conroe, TX, the new headquarters has two levels, providing much needed space for laboratories, purification, filling, packaging, warehousing, and process support.

It also provides measurable office and conference space with associated amenities to accommodate VGXI’s recent and future growth. Multiple manufacturing trains and production suites were incorporated into this initial phase of construction with flexibility provided to support a wide range of biopharma projects from early clinical trials through commercial supply production. The facility also includes micro-processing suites for small-scale projects and dedicated suites to support cGMP DNA- and RNA-based biopharmaceutical manufacturing at all phases of development.
