Biotech is the fastest growing industry in our region. Some biotech labs that are relocating to New England for the first time are building new campuses in the suburbs with multiple buildings. But other labs are finding creative ways to build or expand their space by repurposing available existing space.
One logical post-pandemic leap is to use downtown high rise office buildings to create lab space. With many companies embracing work from home or hybrid models, there is more empty office space available in these downtown buildings.
Recent buzz has been over the repurposing of department stores into life science lab space. With the demise of legendary department store Lord & Taylor, three suburban Boston area malls are converting the former anchor store space into lab space. This solution includes multiple features that make it a natural fit: high ceilings, high-bay loading docks and abundant parking.
What all of these options have in common is that they require a solid communications infrastructure. This is where KTS comes in.
