The building program for the 228,000-square-foot, 9-story Millennium Pharmaceuticals biopharmaceutical laboratory, research, and office facility located in University Park in Cambridge, Massachusetts was both unusual and challenging.
“Walsh Brothers participation in building this project is a sterling example of how the process of construction management, when done well in a cooperative team environment, can result in a win/win situation for all parties involved.”

To ensure research flexibility, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were constructed to allow for either chemistry or biological research. In addition, the building houses a vivarium facility. The envelope of the building features a dramatic, volumetric skin comprising brick and three separate curtain wall types in four different colors of glass. The intersections of these building systems required a great deal of attention to detail, as did the interiors, due to the intense amount of above-ceiling mechanical systems coordination.
