PepGen, Boston, MA

28,300 SF Office & Lab itout

Founded in 2018, PepGen is “advancing potential therapies to improve the futures of people living with devastating neuromuscular and neurological diseases”. At their space on the 8th floor of 321 Harrison Ave, scientists can quickly transition from white coats and laboratories to ergonomic workstations and board rooms enhanced by the latest developments in audiovisual technology, all in plain view of their colleagues. While laboratory spaces are often relegated to ancillary areas of the floor plate, our design team elected to showcase the research by installing an oversized, fire-rated glass panel and entryway window that serves as a visual conduit between science and office work. In addition, the laboratory space was repositioned to provide the south elevator lobbies views to the distant northern building façade. Collaboration between disciplines allowed for ultimate transparency without compromising the code rating required to support research.
