Lexington, MA The Massachusetts Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors presented BW Kennedy & Co. with an Eagle Award at their 25th annual Excellence in Construction Awards program for our work on a new 91,000 s/f Core and Shell building and 42,000 s/f garage at 115 Hartwell Ave.

The Eagle Award recognizes the overall excellence in project execution, craftsmanship, safety, innovative elements and challenges, and client satisfaction. BW Kennedy took home the Eagle Award for the firm’s work at 115 Hartwell Ave. by providing D/B MEPFP services to King St. Properties for construction of a new life sciences building, including a good manufacturing practice (GMP) facility, and garage as part of The Hartwell Innovation Campus (THINC). This was the first ever speculative ground-up laboratory research building developed in the suburban market.

At the awards banquet, the BW Kennedy & Co. project team gathered with over 200 ABC members to celebrate the outstanding projects completed by the member companies. In addition to receiving the Eagle Award, BW Kennedy & Co. received the People’s Choice Award, as voted by peers and colleagues at the event.

Since completing the Core and Shell building, BW Kennedy & Co. has fit out a combination GMP manufacturing, lab and office space for tenant Wave Life Sciences. The three-story facility is designed to be GMP certified and to have oligonucleotide synthesis capacity ranging from high throughput to large-scale production. The new lab space is designed to meet the synthesis demands of Wave’s growing portfolio, while also increasing control and visibility of its product supply chain. Wave’s Lexington facility is designed for 200 employees over the long term.
