Campus-centered research

Sanofi Genzyme

As the centerpiece of Sanofi Genzyme’s Framingham campus, the Science Center creates a dynamic environment for the company’s research scientists, fostering opportunities for interaction and collaboration. The Center’s LEED Gold design is a result of long-term master planning ARC completed to refocus the Framingham Campus as a hub for global research.

Come Together

Science happens in the unexpected interactions. This concept drove the most striking design feature of the building, the six-story, daylit Atrium. This space cuts through the building, dividing the administrative areas from the more controlled lab areas. The soaring space is designed to encourage visual connection from floor to floor and to provide areas and opportunities for informal collaboration - encouraging researchers to take a different path through the building.

The work done at this facility will ensure that we can continue to bring forward therapies to significantly improve patients' lives.

The exterior of the building expresses the scientific rigor and precision in contrast with the human centric work environment.

Our corporation exists to innovate, and the Science Center reflects this purpose.

Building Science

Research laboratories, due to their high energy use, present inherent challenges when trying to achieve sustainability goals. ARC took this challenge head on by thinking about the building and site as a system and not a standalone structure. By combining initiatives on recycled materials, site usage, daylighting quality, sustainable furnishings, lighting and water use, the project achieved a remarkable goal of LEED Gold Certification.
