Diagnostic Laboratory Services Inc. is turning a former Hälawa warehouse into a new headquarters that will allow the company to expand services.

The clinical testing services company said the $20 million project involves constructing lab facilities, a viewing area and offices in the former Panasonic warehouse. The work also includes adding a floor for automobile parking in the 84,000-square-foot building and a photovoltaic system to generate electricity from the sun.
When finished later this year, the project will allow Diagnostic Laboratory Services to relocate its main lab facility and headquarters at Dole Cannery that’s about 10,000 square feet smaller. The relocation is expected to take place in December.
