Bowdoin Completes Lab Fitout for Rapid Micro Biosystems

Bowdoin Construction recently completed a 20,000 SF fitout of new labs and office space for Rapid Micro Biosystems at 1001 Pawtucket Blvd. The project, designed by Facility Planning and Management, included selective demolition within an occupied work/lab environment, followed by the fitout of a BL2 Biolab, offices, open workstations, and bathrooms. The completed space includes new LED lighting, fluorescent lighting, epoxy floors, carpet tiles, epoxy paint, and biolab casework, as well as new RTU’s, VAV and FPT systems. All work was completed within eight weeks.
