2 Harbor Life Sciences Center
The 2 Harbor Life Sciences Center creates a new workplace destination in the South Boston waterfront.
Situated on 4-acres in the South Boston waterfront, 2 Harbor is a new 500,000 sq. ft. life sciences building, designed to reflect the character of the surrounding marine industrial buildings. The façade is composed of corrugated metal paneling with torqued copper-color horizontal and vertical metal bands. Large triple-glazed windows allow for both natural daylight and a quiet working environment.
Designed for maximum flexibility, labs and offices can be placed anywhere in the building. A centralized core with perimeter air distribution minimizes conflicts and maximizes ceiling heights.
The broad face of the building faces onto Gateway Plaza, a new greenspace that extends a series of open spaces stretching across the South Boston Waterfront from Seaport Square. Amenities include a fitness center, wellness center, outdoor terrace, and tenant lounge.
Handel Architects also designed the neighboring 4 Harbor Life Sciences Center.
4 Harbor's metal framing in a worn copper hue provides a soft contrast to 2 Harbor’s bold frame and surfaces.
