Innovation-focused buildings and public spaces are an excellent way to invest in and support emerging research and technologies. These buildings and spaces make a statement for the local community, as a physical manifestation of future goals.

Easy to incorporate into existing campuses, these flexible, tech-forward environments are valuable tools for attracting and supporting new talent. They also provide more flexibility for institutions, accomplishing multiple functions at once.

100 Forge

Located within Arsenal Yards, an amenity-rich, mixed-use development, 100 Forge is a landmark building destination for life science research. This state-of-the-art, nine-story building includes 165,600 GSF of space, including a 50-50 split of laboratory and office space.

Shared amenities on the first floor include spacious conference rooms, semi-private pods that vary in size, an outdoor patio, and an event space with a hydraulic door connecting to a neighboring community park.

Point225

The first building in the Providence Innovation District, Point225, is anchored by Brown University’s School of Professional Studies and the Cambridge Innovation Center, a company that provides incubator space for start-ups, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Together, these anchor tenants foster innovation and act as a catalyst for research and development.

Open to the public, the ground-floor District Hall provides meeting space for collaboration and creative collisions. The design of the building’s facade prioritizes sweeping views of the city, while exterior and interior signage strengthen first impressions of the physical space.

Instructional Laboratory and Innovative Learning Building

Texas A&M University’s Instructional Laboratory and Innovative Learning Building provides much-needed instructional labs, design studios, and a maker space to support interdisciplinary science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) learning for undergraduate students.

The new facility provides 28 science lab spaces to support the entire lower-division chemistry program, eight interdisciplinary studios for art instruction, an interdisciplinary maker space, and small and large study spaces for students to gather, study, and collaborate. The ILSQ supports approximately 8,500 students weekly during normal university core hours. Each of the laboratories is designed to support active learning and allow students to work on higher level experiments.
