Duracell has opened a $56 million research and development center near Georgia Tech, bringing 120 new high-tech jobs to Atlanta’s Westside.

The four-story Global Innovation Center for Research and Development stands at 101 Nerem St. NW, where English Avenue meets Midtown. Designed by Perkins&Will, the 83,000-square-foot building puts engineers, scientists and other teams in one facility.

The center is part of Science Square, an 18-acre mixed-use district. Plans for the district call for 500 homes, retail space and nearly 2 million square feet of labs and offices across multiple phases.
