Modular Construction for Life Sciences Innovation at Harvard

The Pagliuca Harvard Life Lab is a 15,000-square-foot modular life sciences facility located in Allston, Massachusetts. Developed as part of Harvard University’s expanding innovation ecosystem, this two-story structure provides flexible wet lab and office space for early-stage biotech ventures. Built using 34 prefabricated steel-framed modules, the facility was assembled off-site and installed on a traditional foundation in just seven months from start to finish.

Designed by Shepley Bulfinch and constructed by Shawmut Design & Construction, the modular lab building includes split-level programming: open office space on the first floor and wet lab space on the second. The upper floor features 30 lab benches, two tissue culture rooms, two fume hoods, and a walk-in environmental cold room. A private suite with six additional benches and dedicated containment space supports focused research. An open stairway connects the two levels, encouraging collaboration between researchers and teams.

Triumph Modular and manufacturing partner MODLOGIQ delivered a fast-track solution that met Harvard’s need for a high-performance, rapidly deployable research space. This project showcases how modular construction can support innovation in the life sciences sector through speed, customization, and quality.
