2 Harbor Life Science Center

The New 2 Harbor Life Science building is located in Boston’s Marine Industrial Park. The new 380,000sf seven story lab and R+D building includes lobbies, amenity spaces, a fitness area, locker rooms, conference area, yoga room, lounges, market hall, and amenity exterior terrace. The refined industrial design of the interior, exterior, and landscape design evokes the industrial heritage of the Marine Industrial Park.

STUDIO ENÉE, as collaborating Architect with Handel Architects, is responsible for all the interior design and FF&E for the core and amenity spaces in the building. The first floor of the building includes a lobby with green walls, front desk, cafe, marketplace, and bar area to activate the lobby throughout the day and in the evenings. The second level includes the amenity lounge for the building and an exterior garden.

Comparable Project: This project was in collaboration with Handel Architects. This is a new building with flexible multipurpose spaces, lobbies with marketplace/cafe/bar and lounge areas with kitchenettes, exterior deck, exterior program spaces, and FF+E that is open to the community. We met with the users, stakeholders, and the community to have representation from all groups.
