Vertex Fan Pier
These two 1.1M SF new core & shells and tenant interior improvements for Vertex’s corporate headquarters had a total construction cost of $1 billion and were constructed in just 18 months. Each building includes retail on level one, 16 stories of lab and office space (Vivarium, BSL-2, Chemistry, Radiology, and Wet Labs along with MRI spaces) and three levels of parking underneath. There is a full-service cafeteria/kitchen with roof scape seating.
AHA provided MEP/FP Design and LEED MEP Documentation services. Since the labs are located below the office space, AHA creatively designed ductwork to terminate at the roof. The necessary geometrical routes were the most difficult part of the design, and were solved through the use of BIM visualizations.
