Mallinckrodt Earns Somerset County Planning Board Land Development Honor

BEDMINSTER, N.J., Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: MNK), a leading global specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today its new Specialty Brands office site in Bedminster, N.J. earned recognition as a 2017 Somerset County Planning Board Land Development Award honoree in the Commercial category. Awards were presented Tuesday evening at the County Administration Building in Somerville.

Mallinckrodt officially opened its Specialty Brands office in October 2017 at 1405-1425 U.S. Route 206. The office is home to a workforce of nearly 500 that supports marketed and development products in the company's hospital and autoimmune and rare diseases businesses.

"We are pleased to be honored alongside a wide range of development projects in our community, recognized for high levels of design and creativity," said Mark Trudeau, Mallinckrodt President and Chief Executive Officer. "Bedminster has been an excellent setting for our company, and significant design and planning efforts have resulted in the build-out of a collaborative, dynamic work space for our New Jersey-based employees and a site that will meet the needs of our fast-transforming business."

Mallinckrodt's investment includes a complete renovation of 190,000 square feet of office space, with the company occupying more than 80 percent of the building, and design of an open, light-filled work environment providing multiple ways to work and collaborate. The office complex had been vacant for several years, and Mallinckrodt led renovation of the buildings into Class A office space with a full-service cafeteria, fitness center, and a data center. More than 70 percent of the space is open floor plan, and the site can accommodate future growth.

New energy-efficient LED lighting replaced older fluorescent interior lighting, as part of an energy efficient master lighting control system. Exterior improvements to the 23-acre site included the removal of 75 dead or damaged trees, planting of 115 new indigenous evergreen and shade trees, installation of new indigenous ground cover and mulched plant beds, and upgraded entry paving to meet all accessibility standards.

A program of the Somerset County Planning Board, the 35^th Annual Land Development and Planning Awards Program sought nominations for projects that are exceptionally well-designed and planned. Selection criteria were:
