New Laboratory Building at UMMS
Worcester, MA

Cullinan performed the site survey, site engineering and construction support for the design and development of the $100 million Aaron Lazare Medical Research Building at the University of Massachusetts Medical School campus. This 350,000 square foot state of the art research facility assists on-going efforts by the medical school to attract biotechnology and medical device companies. The center includes 200,000 net square feet of lab research space for 100 senior scientists, and accommodates a total staff of 1,000 people, who conduct cancer research, biochemistry, tissue engineering and analysis related to neurological disorders.

Cullinan worked with project architect Tsoi / Kobus & Associates of Cambridge, and project contractor Skanska USA Building Inc. Our activities included stormwater management plan development, sewer design, utilities coordination, permitting, site work specifications, and construction cost estimates.

Cullinan was honored by the Boston Society of Architects / AIA and the New England Healthcare Assembly for the our site design at the Aaron Lazare Medical Research Building. The Boston Society of Architects Healthcare Facilities Design Awards Jury recognized Cullinan’s civil engineering and site design, and awarded our firm a 2002 Honorable Mention for Design. Preservation Worcester and the AIA Central Massachusetts also honored Cullinan with a 2002 Award for Design Excellence for New Construction.

Cullinan continues to support the University of Massachusetts Medical School in their exiting, multi-year campus modernization program.
