Hexus reports ARM has opened a new building for the company's growing graphics division:

UK low-power chip designer ARM has been celebrating the 20th anniversary of the company for the past few days, and has chosen to coincide this event with the unveiling of a new building, which will house its growing graphics operations.

According to ARM's own timeline, the company actually came into existence 25 years ago as a division of Acorn Computer. When Acorn and Apple began collaborating on a chip to run Apple's ill-fated Newton handheld device, they spun-off that division to form ARM 20 years ago.
