Bowdoin Construction finalizes expansion of Boston Analytical lab/office
Salem, NH Bowdoin Construction teamed with Ci Design to provide design-build services for Boston Analytical’s laboratory and office expansion. Construction was completed in two phases, involving demolition of the existing space, installation of new design-build MEP systems, and build out of the new space with new walls, ceilings, millwork, flooring, doors and frames, and finishes, creating 6,700 s/f of lab and 7,900 s/f of office space.
New laboratory spaces include an ISO8 cleanroom, a micro lab area, and an EM lab. New office spaces include conference rooms, open office areas, a break room and R&D space. The layout is conducive to collaborative work, with ample bench space and designated areas for team meetings and discussions.
Additional design-build team members include Summit Engineering, Denron Hall, and Piquette & Howard.
This project is located adjacent to a 30,000 s/f lab/office space Bowdoin completed for Boston Analytical in 2016.

Soon after, the city began to think about what the future of the defunct school would be.
