Greater Boston Life Sciences Report (Q4 2020) Life Sciences Market Report / Fourth Quarter 2020 Greater Boston Market Overview Over the last few years Greater Boston has established itself as the top life sciences market in the world. Even in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for laboratory space continued to be off the charts throughout 2020. In addition to the race to find a COVID-19 vaccine, the pandemic has accelerated research trends such as the growing importance of personalized medicine for an increasingly older population. Life sciences in Greater Boston are growing unabated, as evidenced by tightening vacancies and a record-setting $6.3 billion in biotechnology venture capital funding Greater Boston Area in 2020. Venture capital funding is a major indicator of the sector’s success, as life ranked sciences companies use capital for research, recruiting talent, and ultimately leasing laboratory space. The Greater Boston Area, San Francisco Bay Area, and San Diego, #1 in nation the “big three” biotechnology markets, account for over half of the total laboratory (according to Sum Of NIH inventory in the country. Access to top research universities and a highly skilled talent Funding Recipients) pool are just two of the reasons why life sciences companies from across the world have flocked to Greater Boston over the years.

  • 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

    495/MetroWest Profile Prepared for the 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission The 495/ MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission was established by the Legislature in Section 233 of Chapter 119 of the Session Laws of 2015. The commission will study development challenges experienced by edge communities, including transportation, water, cellular, and energy infrastructure, transit services, residential development, reuse of former industrial facilities and historic mills, brownfields reclamation, downtown redevelopment and other such constraints. The commission will then develop policy responses and recommendations to ensure that edge communities can participate in state development initiatives and benefit from state resources. The commission will focus its investigation and study on the 35 municipalities served by the 495/MetroWest Corridor Partnership, Inc. and develop a pilot program to address the issues to be studied and investigated by the commission. Our Mission The mission of the Public Policy Center (PPC) at UMass Dartmouth is to: Inform evidence-based policy making. Improve public understanding of critical policy issues. Provide educational and research opportunities to our faculty and students. Connect the resources of the University of Massachusetts to the communities we serve. The PPC's primary goal is to inform public policy discussions by providing policy makers with university quality research, technical assistance, and analytical services designed to help make our state, region, and communities better places to live, work, and do business. We do this by leveraging the substantial skills of our students and faculty partners, and enhancing the connections between the University and the communities it serves.

    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.
