Vertex Pharmaceuticals will officially open its corporate headquarters at Fan Pier on the South Boston waterfront early next week.

The biotechnology company will hold a grand opening on Feb. 4 at 10 a.m. for its new 1.1 million-square-foot facility at 11 Fan Pier Boulevard. Vertex had previously been headquartered in Cambridge at 130 Waverly St.

The new site consists of two buildings which will house all of Vertex’s Massachusetts-based employees. The building’s state-of-the-art research labs and facilities include a 3,000-square-foot classroom and laboratory space designed for use by Boston Public School students and teachers, as well as community groups.

Vertex moved its headquarters from Cambridge.
