Beckman Instruments’ headquarters and plant were established on a forty-acre orange grove in unincorporated land between La Habra and Fullerton “at a time when Fullerton was just beginning to industrialize,” leading to an economic boom “for the still mostly rural city,” according to Fullerton Heritage. Beckman Instruments hired architect Lawrence Whitney Davidson to design their new facility, according to Fullerton Heritage. Several former employees and company executives eventually left Beckman Instruments to form new companies, such as the International Biotronics Corporation, and an active group of Beckman retirees still meet in Fullerton. The city of Fullerton recently received a letter from the California Office of Historic Preservation, notifying them that the Beckman Instruments Administrative Building is among the projects selected to receive a 2021 Governor’s Historic Preservation Award.
