Gritstone Bio

The Gritstone Bio project is a fit-out of the 5th, 6th, and 7th floors in the newly renovated and constructed One Kenmore Square building. The newly fit-out space is a mix of office and lab space across 75,000 gsf. Level 5 is 65/35 mix of lab to office, while Level 6 is a 70/30 mix of office to lab. The 7th floor features a cafeteria and conference room that overlook the Charles River, adjacent to the historic Citgo sign.

The project spans three buildings in Kenmore Square, a major traffic artery, and was completed concurrent to the base building renovation. Two of the three buildings are also over one hundred years old, adding additional complexities to transforming the space into labs. The team needed to work around different elevations, ceiling heights, and materials to add in cold rooms and MEP support systems.

Project Specifications:

• 75,000 GSF fit-out
• Project coincided with the base building construction and renovation.
