A 28,000 square-foot facility in the heart of the Kendall Square, Cambridge, biotech innovation hub, LabCentral is a first-of-its-kind shared laboratory space designed as a launchpad for high-potential life-sciences and biotech startups. It offers fully permitted laboratory and office space for as many as 25 startups comprising approximately 100 scientists and entrepreneurs. LabCentral provides first-class facility and administrative support, skilled laboratory personnel, a domain-relevant expert speaker series ‒ as well as the other critical services and support that early-stage companies need to begin laboratory operations on day one. A private, nonprofit institution, LabCentral was funded in part by a $5 million grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC), with support from its real-estate partner, MIT. Founding sponsors include Triumvirate Environmental and Johnson & Johnson Innovation. The first startups began move-in early November, with lab operations launching officially November 15, 2013. When was LabCentral founded? LabCentral was incorporated in September 2012, and opened its doors on November 1, 2013. What is its current staffing? LabCentral staff includes: Johannes Fruehauf president, co-founder Ian Williams facilities manager Peter Parker director of programming, co-founder Thierry Leclerc lab service specialist Margaret O’Toole vice president, operations Patrick Tucker IT associate Celina Chang associate director, lab operations Clancy Steele office assistant Krista Licata office manager Amanda Duong office assistant Founding sponsor, Triumvirate Environmental, provides environmental health and safety services. How many lab bench and office spaces are available? There is a monthly per-person membership fee of $400. The fully equipped co-working lab and What is the pricing? office area features 30 individual bench spots and 22 lab desks, each for $3,600 and $400 per month, respectively. Eight private lab suites accommodating up to eight employees are available for $14,000 to $16,000 per month. The monthly fee for 18 private offices ranges from $900 to $2,450. What comes standard with a LabCentral space contract? A LabCentral space contract provides fully functional lab space, permits, waste handling, plus all reasonably common lab equipment for bioresearch. Access to conference rooms and event space, kitchens, etc. is also included. In addition, LabCentral hosts a large amount of programming specific to the interests of life-sciences startups. Participants can start productive experimental work the day they move into LabCentral and take part in an unmatched hub of biotech activity. What instrumentation/equipment will be available? LabCentral is equipped with all the latest instruments/equipment necessary for life-science research, including microscopes, real-time qPCR, freezers, centrifuges, flow cytometry, chemical hoods, biosafety cabinets and incubators, including BSL-2-rated suites, automated equipment, plate readers, and more. Residents reserve equipment and conference room space through an on-line reservation tool. What other services/benefits are available to tenants? Group purchasing is available, as well as other programs where pooled access reduces costs. Companies may also contract for separate office space, as well as for technical, business, and scientific contract research organization (CRO) support services. Is there a time limit for how long scientists can remain Agreements are for two years, but companies can leave without penalty with 30-days’ notice. in the lab space? In order to create space for a steady stream of cutting-edge startups, companies must re-apply to the screening committee after two years to ensure continued compatibility with LabCentral’s mission. Companies that exceed LabCentral’s funding and revenue maximums will no longer be eligible. Is LabCentral a CLIA lab? No. However, companies are free to work on obtaining CLIA approval or other certifications for their operations if housed in one of the private labs. What is the process for becoming a LabCentral Admission is through a competitive review process where only the highest-potential startups are participant? selected. LabCentral began reviewing applications from in July 2013. The process starts with a short form on the LabCentral website. Following submission, the LabCentral team interviews applicants to finalize their candidacy and ensure consistency with LabCentral’s mission. Accepted candidates are invited back to choose an appropriate space and finalize terms of a contract. What are the criteria for acceptance? LabCentral accepts high-potential applicants consistent with its mission to create the next generation of powerhouse biotech companies. In keeping with the MLSC’s guidance to support the entrepreneurial, early-stage activities of true startup companies, LabCentral is unlikely to accept applicants that have already raised more than $7.5 million of capital or those that have trailing 12-month revenue of more than $3 million. For more information: www.labcentral.org | [email protected] | 1.617.863.3650 What are your expectations for how soon LabCentral The interest in LabCentral has been extraordinary and more than 100 companies have made space will be filled; will there be a waiting list; is there inquiries. So far, about two dozen applicants have met the acceptance criteria, 12 companies room for expansion? have moved in, and several more are scheduled for residency. LabCentral’s existing footprint comprises 28,000 square feet of space in a MIT-owned building in Kendall Square, Cambridge. We have an option on additional space of similar size. Our original projection was to be fully occupied within three years. Clearly, there is a significant need for such a facility centered in and around Cambridge and Boston designed specifically for the life-sciences community. Accordingly, on April 2, 2014, Governor Patrick and the MLSC announced an additional $5 million capital grant to double the size of LabCentral. LabCentral is working with MIT to find an appropriate expansion site near the current facility within the Osborne Triangle development. How does the LabCentral offering differ from other LabCentral is the premier shared laboratory for startups in the Boston area. The level of equipment shared laboratory space in Masschusetts? provided and services available, as well as location are differentiators to existing facilities. What is LabCentral’s current financial circumstances; LabCentral is on solid financial footing due to the backing of the MLSC and our other sponsors. do you need to raise additional funds? We are looking to add additional corporate sponsors, which will allow us to continue to improve the user experience, but we expect to become self-sustaining within three to five years. Who are LabCentral’s founding partners? Johannes Fruehauf (Cambridge Biolabs), Peter Parker (BioInnovation LLC), and Tim Rowe (Cambridge Innovation Center) created LabCentral based on their own experiences as entrepreneurs and that of countless others who have spent precious time and resources searching for and equipping appropriate startup lab space.

  • Actions to Transform Mobility
    Actions to Transform Mobility TRANSPORT KENDALL Navigating the Growth and Transformation of Kendall Square Introduction The Kendall Square has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past 40 years. The scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs in Kendall Square together have created one of the most dynamic innovation districts in the world. Kendall’s innovation ecosystem is dependent on the talent and resources of institutions and companies located in close proximity. Close connections to Boston’s medical centers, investment resources, and education institutions have likewise been invaluable. Kendall Square has become central to Massachusetts’s economy attracting talent from every corner of the state, however Kendall is not as geographically central within the regional transit system as downtown Boston. Despite this, Kendall has grown from one red line station into a model transit-oriented development district with a truly multi-modal commute pattern, supported by the City of Cambridge’s progressive parking and transportation demand policies. Kendall has spurred the emergence of new districts focused on life science and technology innovation throughout the region. The state’s economic growth is dependent on reliable transportation connections between where people live and work. Transport Kendall seeks to maintain and enhance the transit-oriented development model in Cambridge. To do this, Transport Kendall promotes future investment in the transit system to serve this economic hub, while relieving congestion and supporting regional

  • 2017-09-21 Labcentral 610 Release-Final
    LabCentral to Open Next-Stage Facility for Growing Life Science Companies, Supported by Pfizer LabCentral 610 accepting companies now, with opening anticipated December 2017 New LabCentral space builds on LabCentral model: private lab suites in a supportive coworking environment CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (September 21, 2017) – LabCentral and Pfizer today announced plans to open LabCentral 610, a new LabCentral offering located at Pfizer’s Kendall Square Worldwide Research and Development campus. The 33,000-square-foot facility is slated to open in December and will house up to six early- to mid-stage companies. Eligible startups include those with high-impact science, excellent execution, and significant prospects for achieving scientific and business success whose space needs exceed current LabCentral offerings. The companies may be ‘graduates’ from the current LabCentral space, or those interested in securing space in the thriving bioscience Kendall Square neighborhood. A joint steering committee made up of representatives from LabCentral and Pfizer evaluate potential companies. Three local biotechs have been accepted: Affinivax, EnBiotix, and Aquinnah Pharmaceuticals. Companies interested in applying can learn more here on LabCentral’s website. “As our resident startups have met their scientific milestones quickly and efficiently, they’ve thrived and grown – often citing LabCentral’s support and coworking model as a key factor,” said LabCentral Cofounder and President Johannes Fruehauf, M.D., Ph.D.” LabCentral developed the LabCentral 610 site in response to requests from resident startups outgrowing or “aging out” of its original facility who want to remain within LabCentral’s supportive environment as they continue on in their next stage of development. (LabCentral policies limit the length of time resident companies can stay in order to make room for a steady stream of cutting-edge startups.) Fruehauf continued, “Of course, we’re a startup too, and like our resident companies, reap the benefits of working within our own creative shared work environment.

Exploring Methodologies to Capture Subjective Impressions of City Spaces by Laya Anasu Submitted to the Program in Media Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Media Arts and Sciences Abstract Cities and spaces are often examined with a focus on amenities or attributes that can be quantified or explained through patterns and movements by people. There are even numerous apps and services (Yelp, FourSquare, Google Maps to name a few) that provide platforms for adults to express their subjective feelings and opinions about restaurants, bars, landmarks, and public places, but as researchers have shown', these apps don't quite capture the full picture of meaningful places or spaces for people.

  • Red / Blue Line Connector Assessment – Land Use, Population, and Ridership Memo 2 2
    SUMMARY MEMORANDUM: POPULATION, LAND USE, AND RIDERSHIP CHANGES UPDATE TO THE 2010 DEIR FOR THE RED LINE/BLUE LINE CONNECTOR Published October 2018 1. Introduction In 2010, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the connection of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA’s) Red Line and Blue Line in Boston. The Red/Blue Line Connector Project consisted of extending the Blue Line beyond its current terminus at Bowdoin Station along Cambridge Street to the Red Line at Charles/ MGH Station. In March 2010, MassDOT submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) pursuant to the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA). In May 2010, MEPA approved the DEIR. At the time, MassDOT had not identified funding for the construction of the Project. Recent changes in development and growth in Revere, East Boston, and Cambridge, as well as advancements in construction technologies, have generated a renewed interest in revisiting the need for the Red/Blue Line Connector. MassDOT’s Office of Transportation and Planning (OTP), working with the MBTA, has initiated a study to reassess the Project by revisiting previous assumptions developed during the 2010 DEIR. The purpose of this memorandum is to update the data and assumptions regarding population, land use, and ridership from the 2010 DEIR’s Purpose and Need. The 2010 DEIR focused primarily on four Census tracks surrounding the Cambridge Street corridor project area. However, due to their current access to the Blue and Red lines, the communities in this area would likely not have a large effect on demand for and use of the connection.

Address By Dr. Winston E. Kock, Director Electronics Research Center National Aeronautics and Space Administration & / To The American Marketing Association Thursday, January 7, 1965 i I am very pleased to be here today and to tell you little about how the plans and activities of the Electronics Research Center will affect the marketing groups of many of the New England electronics indus- tries. I shall first review some of the ways in which your dealings with us will differ from your ways of dealing with industry, the Defense Department and even other NASA Centers. I hope to give you an insight as to the most effective way for you to proceed to insure that we can become properly aware of the superiority of the research capabilities of your individual companies. In the Second part of my talk I shall tell you some- thing of our plans for the future and why we feel that these plans will result in the most effective use of university and industry talents. Mr. James E. Webb, the Administrator of NASA, stated in his Report to Congress that our Electronics Research Center's function is "to ensure that an increased level of research is carried on in those areas of electronics essential to the mastery of space and in those univer- sities, institutes, and industries which have the capa- bility for the most advanced work and which are prepared to accept contracts and grants in support of such work." During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1965, our Electronics Research Center plans to place research contracts totalling approximately $2 million, and we expect 5 years hence--at full operation--that our grant and contract program will be of the order of $42 million per year.
