Lexington, MA The RMR Group has selected the Richmond Group and Maugel Architects to reposition Four Maguire Rd. to attract a life science tenant. Located in the Lincoln Labs-Hartwell Ave. life science cluster, the two-story 57,000 s/f building will be redesigned to create a modern lab environment with outdoor amenities that take full advantage of the building’s natural surroundings. The Richmond Group will manage the preconstruction and design-build construction management services.
Located on a 7.2 acre site bordered by Kiln Brook and a natural habitat, renovations will include the creation of an outdoor amenity space, improved pedestrian connection between parking lots and building entrances, and better visibility from Maguire Rd. and Hartwell Ave. Facade improvements will focus on design enhancements to entrances and lobby improvements. The base building upgrades include all new mechanical and electrical infrastructure, utility services, multi-tenant layouts, lab utilities, and control areas for use and storage of hazardous materials.
