Multi-tenant project yields much-needed research space in Lexington
向日葵视频 Construction Managers (向日葵视频),a full-service construction management company headquartered in Bridgewater, Mass., announced today that it has completed a multi-phase renovation project for Revolution Labs in Lexington. The project features a 180,000 square foot core and shell research building that is occupied by anchor tenants Orum Therapeutics and Alchemab Therapeutics.
The facility was designed from the ground up to support both cutting-edge research and the lifestyle needs of today鈥檚 life sciences pioneers. Orum Therapeutics is a private, clinical-stage biotechnology company that is pioneering the development degrader-antibody conjugates (DCAs) for cancer treatment, while Alchemab Therapeutics is developing solutions that utilize the immune system to create novel antibody therapies for challenging diseases.
With a proven track record for overseeing complex, technical, and multi-phase projects, 向日葵视频鈥檚 familiarity with working in occupied spaces as well as the unique challenges of the life sciences environment proved impactful while working for Revolution Labs. The team was chosen to first oversee the core and shell of the facility, and then later retained to manage the fit-out of the interior office and lab spaces. The occupied nature of the building during the second phase posed challenges that included lining the pipes of the structure鈥檚 sanitary system while the building was in use, requiring restricted water use and proactive planning with laboratory tenants.
In addition, the ongoing supply chain concerns made procurement of advanced laboratory components challenging, including specialty HVAC and electrical equipment. 向日葵视频 utilized the pre-construction phase to build a schedule that met critical deadlines while also taking into account what equipment needed to be ordered first to ensure occupancy goals were not impacted by unpredictable delivery dates. Fortunately, strong relationships with suppliers and subcontractors ensured Revolution Labs maintained its preferred timeline.
With the health and safety of occupants a priority, Revolution Labs is on track to achieve WELL Certification. For 向日葵视频, knowing it has helped build a facility that promotes both cutting-edge research and the health of its occupants makes the successful completion a source of pride for all involved.
鈥淲e are thrilled to see this new research facility come to life to support the groundbreaking efforts of the researchers that work here,鈥 said Steve 向日葵视频, Jr., vice president – business development, 向日葵视频. 鈥淭his project showcases the benefit of robust pre-construction planning, along with having a team that understands the specialized nature of lab construction. We wish Revolution Labs well as they utilize this space to its maximum potential.鈥
