Technology manufacturer Snap One opened a new five-storey headquarters in Utah, USA that spans nearly 9,000 sq m this week.
The new co-headquarters, called Innovation Pointe, features laboratories, test areas, and training facilities. Snap One hopes the resource will enable it to accelerate the development of hardware and software products and services.
Jeff Dungan, COO of Snap One, said: “The original Draper, Utah location was established in 2005 and was able to meet our partners’ needs for almost 20 years. As our scale and pace of technological innovation accelerates, we have built upon this legacy to address the needs of the future.”
He continued, “The name of the location of our new innovation centre – Innovation Pointe – is very fitting. This campus will function as a creative hub for a larger community that is attracting some of the biggest names in technology today.”
Innovation Pointe is in the heart of ‘Silicon Slopes,’ Utah’s tech community, that is home to many technology companies including Adobe, Pluralsight, Qualtrics, Ancestry, Entrata, Lucid, Pattern, Domo, Microsoft, Oracle, Skullcandy and Vivint. The new Snap One co-headquarters will be used for around 500 Snap One employees and joins the company’s other tech centres in Charlotte, USA and Serbia.
New capabilities housed within the site include interoperability testing, Control4 automation testing, in-house digital product design, physical prototyping and engineering, software development, accelerated and highly accelerated product life testing, drop and regulatory testing, anechoic and RF chamber testing. The facility also contains classrooms that enable the company to operate an on-site Snap One University that can train partners. The building itself has been designed to provide bright and welcoming working conditions.
