MAJOR P ROVIDER of life sciences construction services in the boston area
Building’s Integrated Services Group was an essential part of the project, working closely with DFCI and the design team to resolve major cost drivers early on. During preconstruction, the teams developed logistic plans supported by modeled renderings, 4D timelines, and critical pick rigging animations and the Reality Capture Team laser scanned the existing infrastructure. square feet arc
BOND Building provided preconstruction and construction services to DFCI for 41,000 SF on the sixth floor.
Based on the existing 3rd and 4th floor designs, the biology/chemistry wet lab research floor was divided into three neighborhoods - two designed for known users and one left for fitout by a future tenant. BOND

BOND Building provided construction management services for the 7,600 SF fit-out of the L3 Chemistry Laboratory. The project included open lab spaces, write-up stations, tissue culture rooms, chemical storage libraries and an environmental room.
The unique features of the vivarium design include a cage wash facility designed with robotic operators, and animal holding rooms with an adjacent dedicated procedure room with the option to have access to natural light. In addition, natural light is accessible in the lab spaces and the administrative offices.
The vivarium facility resulted in significant improvements aimed at enhancing cancer research. Among the design improvements, BOND Building was responsible for installing an HVAC system, sure flow, sure vac, dispensing system, air handling system, tunnel wash, cage wash, dry heat sterilizers, boilers and a generator.
Located in the heart of Cambridge, the Broad Institute is a biomedical and genomics research center which was looking to consolidate and relocate their lab space and equipment to one location. After successfully completing a prior Broad Institute project, BOND Building was hired early in the preconstruction phase for this relocation to manage value engineering, budget and project schedules. BOND Building communicated with stakeholders and the design team weekly to coordinate power maintenance and shutdowns to assure that ongoing research was not disturbed. After a successful project completion, BOND Building was subsequently contracted for additional renovations to conference and support spaces.
HUTTENHOWER LABORATORY RENOVATION
The scope included upgrades to MEP systems to support the new lab as well as new casework, all while not disrupting surrounding occupied areas. It was necessary that the project be completed by December 1st in time for the arrival of a new researcher. This immoveable end date was a challenge and required the expediting of square feet
In preparation for a new hire, this renovation project included 1,000 SF on the 4th floor of what is known as Building #1 in the HSPH campus. This fast track project included the conversion of student and office space into a new laboratory with an attached work area.

BOND Building provided construction management services for 9,000 SF of offices and lab space. The project required substantial demolition and new construction. It included upgrades to finishes and MEP systems, drywall partitions, ceiling, VCT, carpet and base, doors and hardware, as well as VAV boxes, duct and diffusers, fire alarm, new lights, power, and fire protection. There is new casework and lab services including fume hoods as well as environmental rooms.

Karp 6 included a renovation and expansion to the existing lab space in order to accommodate for the relocation of a departmental chief to the Boston Children’s Hospital campus. The project included 9,000 SF of multi-phased renovations on two active floors; including the construction of offices, tissue culture rooms, microscope rooms, equipment rooms, and the installation new wet lab benches and the utilities they require to function.
Karp 8 included the renovation of the existing lab space, as well as renovations to the lab offices. Karp 9 was a 3,316 SF renovation which provided the Cellular and Molecular Medicine programs new support rooms, tissue culture rooms, benches, and offices.
