Life Science Building Design Guidelines

The life science industry is a key driver in Boston’s vibrant economy and employment opportunities and provides critical funding for affordable housing, jobs programs, schools, and other public services. The Planning Department is creating design guidelines for life science buildings that can help shape the impact of life sciences and ensure new development advances citywide goals and contributes to and fits within Boston’s urban fabric. As Boston continues its leadership as a global center for life sciences, these design guidelines form one part of the larger Life Sciences Action Agenda to support thoughtful, context-sensitive, and flexible growth of the life science industry.
