Woburn, MA Educational nonprofit Science from Scientists is growing its Northeastern footprint with a new 4,700 s/f facility. The national firm moved its New England headquarters from Bedford to Cummings Properties’ Tower Office Park campus.

“Woburn is a great central hub for Science from Scientists’ growing New England operation,” said Cummings Properties senior leasing director Mike Truesdale. “And with Tower Office Park located right at the junction of I-93 and I-95, you can’t beat the highway accessibility.” 

Truesdale worked with Annie Coe, senior advisor at Colliers, on the lease.

“Cummings is a mission-driven organization, and it’s always very satisfying to accommodate nonprofits that are working to bring about a better tomorrow,” said Truesdale. “It was a pleasure working with Annie and her team to identify just the right space for this client.”

Science from Scientists first became connected with Cummings Properties in 2018, when the nonprofit received a $100,000 grant from the firm’s philanthropic affiliate, Cummings Foundation. According to Truesdale, the Cummings organization has awarded a total of more than $500 million to date.

Cummings Properties manages a portfolio of 11 million square feet of commercial space in 11 suburban communities north and west of Boston. Most of these properties are owned by Cummings Foundation, with 100 percent of all rental income supporting hundreds of local nonprofits. The Foundation is currently considering proposals for an additional $30 million in funding, to be awarded in 2025. 

Founded in 2002, Science from Scientists aims to bridge the nation’s STEM workforce gap through the early introduction of hands-on, scientist-led technology, engineering, and math curricula. The nonprofit first gained national attention at the 2004 Miss America pageant, where founder Erika Ebbel Angle, PhD competed as Miss Massachusetts. Through its signature in-school program, Science from Scientists now annually serves more than 10,000 elementary and middle school students across Massachusetts, Minnesota, and California.
