LEED Platinum; this project shares the current USGBC record nationally for achieving the most number of LEED points for a renovation project. LEFTFIELD has had the good fortune of being a significant part of the planning, design, and construction of this exciting, complex, multi-phased project from the get-go. Harvard University’s Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology (SCRB) needed a home base to anchor its multidisciplinary and multi-institutional enterprise after the Harvard Allston Science Project was waylaid. The SCRB project covers construction in five different buildings and relocates 30 faculty members from area hospitals and institutions including Massachusetts General Hospital, Children’s Hospital, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and Joslin Diabetes Center; in addition to small groups of labs on the Cambridge campus.
The first phase of the project included creating new lab and office space for SCRB at the Bauer building. Phase two involved several major enabling projects in order to relocate the Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) Department from Sherman Fairchild to Northwest Science Building, Biolabs, and the BRI Buildings. The gut renovation of the 100,000-square foot, 30-year-old Sherman Fairchild Building was the last phase.
The new, flexible, open lab spaces within Sherman Fairchild for interdisciplinary collaborative research will establish a higher standard for research density on the Cambridge campus.
The specialty areas include an extensive zebra fish tank area, an iPS core, the development of a Therapeutic Cell Screening lab, and a glass wash.
