ExxonMobil will consolidate its Houston offices at a new campus on a 385-acre wooded site in north Houston starting in early 2014, and may move other U.S. offices there too.
Most employees working in the companys Houston Upstream head office activities, along with ExxonMobil Chemical Co. and various staff support services, will be based at the campus. Employees will move in phases as the buildings are constructed. Full occupancy for Houston-based employees is expected by 2015.
The office complex will contain multiple low-rise office buildings, a laboratory, conference and training centers, and facilities including child care, a wellness center and other employee amenities.
The decision to proceed with the campus resulted from a study of the corporations office requirements in the United States, ExxonMobil stated. Further study will determine whether any other U.S. office locations will be located at the campus in the future. ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties (finished lubricants and mineral base oils) and ExxonMobil Researchand Engineering (technology sales and licensing) are now based in Fairfax, Va.
