The final steel beam for the structure was put into place, the team celebrated the hard work of all the trade contractors.

Turner is providing construction services on the two buildings that will host 15 floors of laboratory tenants and will also have connectivity to the balance of the Enterprise Research Campus (ERC) facilities. The cutting-edge research and development lab buildings are designed and will be built to ensure a healthy workspace environment with a focus on sustainability, resiliency, and equity. 

“We are thrilled to reach this milestone with our joint venture partners,” said Kent Kunkel, Vice President and General Manager, Turner Construction Company. “The research that will happen in these buildings will provide life-changing benefits to the local community. We are excited to continue working with Breakthrough Properties, Harvard University, Janey Construction Management, J&J Contractors, and the Boston community as we work toward the finish line.”
