    Burroughs Wellcome Fund Headquarters 21 T.W. Alexander Drive Research Triangle Park, North Carolina During its years as a corporate foundation, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund had shared space with Burroughs Wellcome Co., first in New York and then in North Carolina. After the Fund became a private independent foundation in 1994, it rented space in the Research Triangle area. In 1996, the BWF Board of Directors began discussions about building a freestanding headquarters that would firmly establish the Fund as an independent entity and provide meeting space for convening award recipients, as well as the Fund’s board and advisory committees. Perkins and Will of Charlotte, North Carolina, the selected architecture firm, designed the Fund’s new headquarters. In 1998, the Fund broke ground and a year later the staff moved into ifs Permanent home.
