Assembly Innovation Park Achieves LEED Platinum Certification!

Assembly Innovation Park (AIP) in Somerville, MA is a 487,000 SF, 14-story lab/office core and shell development recently obtained a LEED Platinum certification rating from the US Green Building Council. AHA played a key role in achieving the Platinum certification with our MEP/FP design. The energy-efficient design resulted in a site EUI of 113 kBTU/ft²/year, with flexible space programming that supports a future transition to 100% electrification.  AHA provided MEP/FP Design, LEED and Code Energy Modeling, and LEED MEP Documentation services. AIP has set a new standard for sustainability in science & technology buildings.

The building was designed to support a range of uses, including office spaces, open collaboration areas, open labs, tissue culture rooms, specialty laboratories, and lab support functions.  The first-floor houses retail space, a fitness center, bike room, conference center, office space, chemical storage, lab waste treatment area, along with a dedicated cGMP loading dock and elevator to support manufacturing functions.
