New State-of-the-Art Building Designed to Accommodate Current and Future Growth
EWING, NJ – November 26, 2018 – GS1 US®, the information standards organization, has relocated from Princeton Pike Corporate Center in Lawrenceville, NJ to a new, “built-to-suit” office located in the Princeton South Corporate Center at 300 Charles Ewing Boulevard in Ewing, New Jersey. GS1 US will continue to be co-located with U.S. subsidiaries of GS1®, the global standards organization, and 1Worldsync™, a leading provider of product content solutions.
GS1 US worked with The Opus Group and Founders Properties, L.L.C. to develop, design and construct the new two-story building, which features an open and collaborative environment, along with the latest technology solutions to support the organization’s evolving business needs. It offers employees several more conference and meeting rooms, including large meeting space to accommodate educational workshops often held on-premises, and a special sound-proof room for higher quality webinar broadcasts.
