This is the story of the transformation of the historic Necco candy factory in Cambridge into a world-class biotechnology research center. Using an innovative new process, the 500,000-square-foot project was designed, documented, constructed, and commissioned in a mere 16 months and was delivered well under budget. The project won Lab of the Year honors in 2005 as well as the Business Week/Architectural Record design award in 2006.
Learning Objectives:
- Review key design parameters for biotech labs, especially in renovation projects
- Summarize how an integrated project delivery was used to accelerate the schedule, control the cost, and enhance the design quality
- Indicate from first-hand reports from the architect, owner, engineer, and contractor how the project was executed
