Asimov, a biotechnology innovator developing advanced genetic programs, relocated its workforce into a new 43,000‑square‑foot headquarters in Boston designed to blend cutting‑edge laboratory environments with modern office amenities. The space is configured with a 60/40 split between biology labs and offices, supporting more than 100 staff members. The new headquarters creates a seamless, flexible environment that enhances research workflows, collaboration and operational efficiency for a rapidly growing biotech firm.
What challenges did STV address?
Relocating into a highly specialized combined lab‑and‑office facility required precise coordination across design, permitting, construction and vendor‑driven technical installations. Asimov needed support managing long‑lead equipment, complex infrastructure requirements and the simultaneous delivery of laboratory and administrative spaces. Ensuring a smooth transition – including lease review, equipment planning and logistics – was crucial to avoid disruption to ongoing research activities.
What solutions did STV deliver?
STV provided comprehensive owner’s project management services, guiding the project team’s formation and maintaining oversight of the full project schedule. The team coordinated all long‑lead and critical‑path items, including permitting, construction sequencing and specialized design milestones. STV also managed owner‑procured components such as furniture, fixtures, equipment and mover selection. Pre‑construction support included lease and space planning reviews, while construction administration incorporated value engineering, requisition audits and change‑order management.
How does this project benefit the region?
The new headquarters strengthens Boston’s role as a global biotechnology hub by supporting advanced research capacity and fostering innovation. The modernized facility enables Asimov to accelerate scientific development, improve operational performance and attract top‑tier scientific and engineering talent, benefiting both the company and the broader biotech ecosystem.
