Michigan-based imaging utility maker TechSmith announced the company is moving from its Okemo, MI, headquarters to Michigan State University’s campus, where MSU and the Michigan State University Foundation are partnering to develop a 62,500 square-foot, two-story office building in the south portion of Spartan Village for the company. The office building, under construction now, is located on approximately five acres of land at the corner of South Crescent and Harrison Road, 14 Crescent Rd., East Lansing Michigan 48823.

TechSmith has been a long-time sponsor of MSU, bringing interesting projects to MSU computer science students in the College of Engineering, such as Teacher’s Virtual Toolbelt, Cloud-Based Video Tracking, and Video Sentiment Analysis. Currently, TechSmith employs approximately 300 employees and intends to hire around 30 additional full-time positions across several areas of the business.
