Wise Construction completes 10,000 s/f Biogen project at 10 Cambridge Center

Wise Construction Corporation has recently completed the renovation of 10,000 s/f of office space at Biogen Idec's 10 Cambridge Center location. Biogen is a global leader in the discovery, development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapies. The construction project included structural upgrades to an office space for the legal department, the creation of a secure high density file storage area, conference rooms and improvements to food service areas. Wise Construction worked in conjunction with the project design team of Signer Harris Architects, a Boston-based architectural design firm. "It's a privilege to work for noted clients such as global pharmaceutical giant Biogen Idec," said John Wise, president of Wise Construction. "This project tested our team given its unique phased renovation and special construction requirements. Anytime you have a project where the facility must remain operational during the construction, you're main concern is security and minimum disruption of the company's day-to-day operations. We succeeded in creating manageable construction environment for Biogen and we're pleased with the finals results."
