AMD Submits Site Development Plan For New Austin Campus

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today submitted its site development plan to the City of Austin for a new campus to be built on 58 acres AMD has agreed to purchase in Southwest Austin. The new campus, known by the project name “AMD Lone Star,” will bring together local non-manufacturing operations currently spread across multiple locations in Austin. Spansion™, the Flash memory venture of AMD and Fujitsu Limited, will build upon AMD’s established roots in East Austin by continuing local manufacturing operations at Fab 25 on East Ben White Boulevard.

The site plan was created in collaboration with a team of leading environmental experts and incorporates the latest in green building techniques and materials. Once completed, the new campus is expected to achieve a Gold Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The Gold LEED certification, which requires meeting at least 39 strictly quantified credit-based criteria, would make the new AMD campus one of the largest commercial development projects in the country to achieve such a rating and set a new standard for sustainable development.

“The AMD campus embraces new ideas and technology innovations that are unique to a campus of this size,” Craig Garcia, director of global corporate services, AMD. “This site plan represents a significant milestone in the creation of a new unified AMD Austin campus that will raise the bar for sustainable development and create a world-class corporate campus in close proximity to the majority of AMD’s local employees.”
