The Creation of Innolabs: How Three Buildings from the 1930s Create a Purpose-Built Commercial Laboratory Facility in Response to a Call for a New Bio-Hub for NYC’s Burgeoning Life-Science Ecosystem

The New York City-based practices of Perkins&Will, McNamara Salvia, JB&B Engineers, and Langan formed a unique interdisciplinary design team to support a joint venture development team led by King Street Properties, to be built by Pavarini McGovern, LLC, a part of the STO Building Group.

The team combined their local NYC market knowledge with their internationally recognized expertise in developing and designing science facilities, specifically their experience with the biggest S&T project the country has known, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Building off of similar efforts, the team undertook a design effort to transform three existing structures built close to 100 years ago into one cohesive building for one predetermined and dedicated use, on spec. The early inclusion of the CM team in preconstruction was key to facilitating dialogue between local jurisdictions, navigating construction market challenges to assumed constructability issues, and developing team strategies for dealing with the challenges of marrying the structures to meet the program needs. All this was achieived while meeting business-plan oriented schedules, NYC tax abatements and grants, and costing for contemporary financing needs.

In this presentation, you will learn about:

How the interdisciplinary design team was formed and how the collaborative process was structured
The interactive programming process that fostered collaborative engagement
Location considerations and the impact of Amazon
Building a lab on spec with no tenant
Lab-ready vs. full prebuilt conversion
The importance of creating an ecosystem
NYCEDC incentives and abatements
How the ‘bones’ of the original structure worked to support a flexible planning approach
Operational considerations for the target tenancy
Cost certainty
Schedule challenges especially in the COVID-19 pandemic
