Challenge

Transforming an aging building into a modern multi-tenant life sciences facility required flexibility, scalability, and immediate occupancy for users ranging from early-stage startups to established companies. Laboratory, office, and manufacturing functions needed to be accommodated within an existing structure while supporting future growth and changing operational requirements.

Solution

We stripped the building to its structural core and reimagined it with higher window lines, a thermally efficient building envelope, and laboratory-grade MEP infrastructure. Original stone walls were preserved to provide character and continuity, while the lobby and elevator core were consolidated at the front of the building to maximize tenant floor plates. The former mechanical penthouse was converted into a third floor, increasing leasable area and supporting future tenant growth.

Outcome

The repositioned building delivers a flexible Class A office, laboratory, and cGMP manufacturing facility designed to support rapid fit-outs and evolving tenant needs. Targeting LEED certification, the project emphasizes energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, and long-term sustainability while helping establish SHIP as a destination for innovation and scientific advancement.
