Cambridge, Mass.
The Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research is planning to construct a new five-story facility adjacent to its existing building in Cambridge, Mass. Sited on land owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the 60,000-sf facility is expected to begin construction in fall 2005 and reach completion in a year. The project will house Novartis' administrative staff as well as including ground-floor retail space. The architect for the project is Elkus Manfredi of Boston.
