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.
“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.”
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.
