MBI is a private, non-profit, economic development organization that serves as a catalyst for life science and healthcare innovation. MBI helps start biomedical companies and create jobs within the Biotechnology, Medical Device, Informatics, and Biomanufacturing industry by providing private secured BL2 laboratories, shared equipment, and support services for “seed stage” companies. Building and maintaining collaborative affiliations and partnerships are essential to their success. MBI’s pre-existing facilities identified had been at or near full occupancy and MBI determined through their analysis that there was an unmet need for additional incubator space in this area. As a result of the analysis, MBI hired LeftField to support them in managing the design and construction process of their expansion to 17 Briden Street in Worcester, MA. LeftField managed the transformation of the 1920’s era masonry and timber frame building which was in use as a medical device manufacturing space, converting it into a state of the art lab space.
