Women in Design (WiD): From Office to Laboratory: The Transformation of 350 Mass Ave (In-Person)

Event Description

Join us to hear from BioMed Realty, Redgate, DiMella Shaffer, BET, and enviENERGY as they share how they are managing and designing the adaptive reuse of an office building into a laboratory building in Cambridge. Originally constructed in the late 1990s, the building will be redesigned to accommodate lab and office space on the upper floors, retail on the ground floor, and a new mechanical penthouse, totaling 133,600 GSF. The design approach focuses on preserving the existing structure and brick veneer while upgrading the building to comply with new energy codes, enhancing both architectural detail and the pedestrian experience. The project is being redesigned to meet Cambridge’s resilience standards and targets LEED

Gold certification, positioning it as a model for sustainable adaptive reuse.
