Boston has seen its share of industry over the years, from seafaring to manufacturing, and higher education remaining a constant throughout the city’s history. Those industries have shaped the architectural and design landscape that has come to define this historic city, with colonial style buildings and Georgian architecture. But in 1980, the city had lost significant portions of its population. The arrival of the life science industry in Boston over the last several decades has been a significant catalyst: facilitating the evolution of this metropolitan area and impacting the design landscape of the city as well. Richard Kobus, Co-founder and Senior Principal at Tsoi Kobus Design and Larry Grossman AIA LEED AP, Senior Principal at Stantec reflect about the growth and innovation of design, and its impact on the life sciences industry.

Areas like Exchange South End in Boston Massachusetts illustrate the pinnacle of these dynamics, incorporating the natural evolution of Boston’s life science trends with an innovative life science campus, in the heart of a historic and desirable residential neighborhood.
