cGMP and manufacturing space

This growing biotech client engaged DiMella Shaffer to design their corporate headquarters and cGMP lab space in a suburban Boston office building. Through a study of client needs, it was determined that approximately 60% of the space would need to be designated for laboratory space, including 3,000 SF for R&D Labs and 5,000 SF dedicated to a cGMP Lab, to support anticipated production needs. In the corresponding office space, an open office floor plan was deemed the best option to help the client’s current and future needs. The open office design celebrates the company culture and allows all team members to congregate for collaboration, continually fostering interpersonal relationships. Drawing on the client’s branding and innovative technology, the team began with neutral tones, incorporating pops of color to create bold moments. The café’s design was elevated with a marble waterfall countertop and large-scale ceramic tile. Warm tones in the carpet and wallcovering help create an inviting atmosphere throughout. A highlight of the café space is two large, custom millwork ceiling installations of an RNA and DNA molecule.
