Raytheon to open new Tucson office at the UA's south-side tech park
Tucson-based Raytheon Missiles & Defense is moving into new office space at the University of Arizona’s Tech Park at the Bridges on the city’s south side.
Raytheon plans to move this fall into 14,000 square feet of office space at The Refinery, a four-story building at the 65-acre tech park at The Bridges, a 350-acre, multi-use development near East 36th Street and South Kino Parkway.
The company — a major provider of front-line missiles and other defense systems for the U.S. and allied nations — is Tucson’s biggest employer with more than 13,000 workers at its main manufacturing campus at Tucson International Airport, a major facility at the UA Tech Park on South Rita Road and some smaller local offices.
Opened in early 2022 with 120,000 square feet of Class A office space, The Refinery already houses UA agencies including Tech Launch Arizona and the UA Applied Research Corp., a nonprofit set up to handle defense and security projects.
Raytheon will be the first corporate tenant at The Refinery, which was designed as a collaborative space with half devoted to the UA and the other half earmarked for industry tenants.
