JM Coull, Gorman Richardson Lewis Architects, Meridian Assocs., RRC Engineering and Building Engineering Resources recently completed work on Perkin Elmer’s Personalized Health Innovation Center of Excellence in Hopkinton.
The focus of the center is to help scientists eradicate disease and improve the quality of life for individuals around the world.
The project was completed in four strategic phases that involved multiple buildings around an occupied campus. During the first phase, the workers built clean and non-clean space for the production of microfluidic cells in ISO 5 and ISO 6 cleanrooms.
The second phase renovated lab and office space to accommodate new office space and three new laboratories, which were relocated to Hopkinton from Montreal and Boston. The second floor remained active during construction of the first floor offices and chemical, biochemical and vivarium laboratories. The electrical service was upgraded along with new mechanical and process systems.
The last two phases created a new 40,000-square-foot executive and corporate office, conference and training rooms, fitness and locker room, and a dining hall, and added 15,000 square feet to the existing warehouse, while converting the existing warehouse into manufacturing and office space.
