Ragon Institute is a unique union of MGH, MIT, and Harvard. At the forefront of infectious disease research, including HIV-AIDS and COVID-19, the new facility holds a gateway site an important urban nexus at the edge of Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA.
Bordered by residential, institutional and corporate neighbors, the iconic sweeping building form effectively mitigates changes in urban scale.
An iconic, performance-driven façade unites form and function. The limestone look on the shading fins is able to tie the building in with the surrounding neighborhood.

The geometry of the unitized curtain wall facade is based on the laboratory module.
The pattern of the tapering shading fins is not only based on the type of stacked program behind, but has also been adjusted per feedback from solar radiation studies.

Renovation and Addition: 5+ years of collaborating with Renzo Piano Building Workshop on the design and completion of the Museum. My primary areas of responsibility were the exterior envelope (both restoration scope of the existing historic building and the detailing of the exterior assembly at the existing building and addition), restoration of the historic courtyard, art storage design and coordination, door detailing and scheduling, loading dock design, the reinstallation of a historic period room, and the preservation/reinstallation of three fresco’s to be displayed in the Museum.

As a historic building and a Museum, the restoration and exterior insulating assembly were given a lot of attention.
The restoration scope included surveying the existing conditions, reviewing brick and mortar matches, limestone and brick cleaning methods, different types of limestone repairs, etc.
