Anagenex integrates machine learning with biology and chemistry. They approached BW Kennedy Construction & VIVO with the task of customizing the 14,000 square ft suite of spec lab and office space (60% lab/40% office). Although the selected suites initially were designed on spec, once end-user/tenants came on board VIVO and BW Kennedy were able to quickly pivot and accommodate tenant specific requirements in a fluid way, without impacting project timeline or budget.

In addition, programming required a design that would promote collaboration and flexibility, such as a break room area with movable furniture and huddle rooms. Anagenex also needed additional equipment to be incorporated into the existing spec program, which was already in construction. To accommodate these specific equipment needs, the team coordinated with the requirements of Anagenex. The additional equipment needs increased the required electrical power allotment. With early coordination with the design consultants, the additional electrical equipment was procured early in the process to incorporate the Anagenex design. This streamlined process allowed for the project schedule to stay on track. Both VIVO and BW Kennedy coordinated seamlessly with the design consultants throughout the entire process from SD through CA and completion.
