Cambridge, MA – South Coast Improvement Company (SCI) announced the start of four new projects on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus. These projects consist of facility upgrades that will have a significant impact not only on the students and faculty, but on the institution as a whole. The projects consist of two specialized laboratories, office spaces, and the main campus bookstore.
Building 46 at the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Complex is the largest neuroscience center in the world. It is LEED Silver-certified. SCI will be reconfiguring existing office space to accommodate a greater number of offices. This begins with the installment of new walls and includes all of the finishes that will keep the style, functionality, and LEED certification of the building intact.
South Coast will also be constructing the Marelli Lab to serve the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. A conference room will be renovated as a wet lab to satisfy unique requirements for research conduction and include highly specialized systems and equipment.
The project is expected to be complete by late fall.
Additionally, SCI will reconfigure a large storage space into a specialized holding room at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. This sensitive work environment requires that all personnel pass through the existing and operational laboratory space to reach the construction area.
The MIT Press Bookstore is a fast-track full-tenant fit-out of a 2,500sf building to where the current bookstore will relocate.
