Cerner will squeeze workers into one Kansas City campus, and abandon its other office spaces

Cerner, the city's largest private employer, is closing its world headquarters in North Kansas City and Realization Campus in South Kansas City. The moves come just months after the company was acquired by Oracle in a multi-billion-dollar deal.
Just months after being acquired by Oracle, Cerner plans to close its world headquarters in North Kansas City and its Realization Campus in south Kansas City and move employees to its Innovations Campus at the former Bannister Mall site.

Oracle told employees in an email Friday that the move was intended to allow workers to have more flexibility and better utilize their 2-million-square-foot facility on Hillcrest Road off I-435.

"As you know, Oracle Cerner strongly supports workplace flexibility to help our employees perform their roles in the most productive way possible," the email read.

The two campuses will close as of November 30.
