Ware Malcomb Announces Construction Completed on Award Winning Precision Labs in Germantown, MD

WASHINGTON, DC – Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, announced that construction is complete on 20430 & 20440 Century Boulevard, two office buildings converted to a cGMP-ready white box facility and state-of-the-art lab facility respectively, located in Rock Creek’s four-building Precision Labs™ campus in Germantown, MD.

 Ware Malcomb provided lab planning, site design, and interior architecture and design services for the buildings, encompassing approximately 32,000 and 52,000 square feet, respectively. The project was recognized as the winner of the NAIOP DC | MD Design Excellence Award for Best Life Science Facility.



Located off I-270, the buildings are within one of the largest life science clusters in the country and a showcase for creative repositioning of office property.

The campus is owned by Rock Creek Property Group, a Bethesda, MD-based real estate investment and development company with a diverse portfolio of commercial and residential properties.

Ware Malcomb’s science & technology studio worked in tandem with their interior architecture and design and site planning studios in completing the project.



Converting the two buildings into move-in ready speculative BSL-2 lab suites and cGMP-ready space represented a complex adaptive reuse effort as the buildings were originally constructed as office space.


 Of particular focus were enhancements to the buildings’ electrical, mechanical and wastewater infrastructure while maintaining consistency with the site’s original zoning.  

“This project exemplifies innovation, flexible design and creative repositioning,” said Lori Ambrusch, Director, Science & Technology for Ware Malcomb. “These newly transformed spaces should attract tenants through generation of much-needed life science laboratory space in the region.”
