TRIA designs 50,000 s/f headquarters for Korro Bio in Cambridge
Cambridge, MA TRIA, an architectural firm known for its client-focused approach and innovative designs, has completed Korro Bio’s new headquarters. This transformative office and laboratory fit-out spans 50,000 s/f and marks a significant milestone for the biopharmaceutical company focused on developing RNA-based genetic medicines.
Korro Bio, which specializes in developing therapies for patients with both rare and highly prevalent diseases, sought a space that would reflect its innovative mission and accommodate its growth. TRIA’s design solution brings together modern design principles with functional floor plans that promote collaboration, adaptability, and a strong company culture. The new headquarters includes open, flexible work environments, dynamic meeting hubs, and thoughtfully designed lab spaces to foster creativity and scientific discovery.
“We are excited to mark this new period at Korro Bio with the opening of our beautiful headquarters,” said Robert Mack, associate director of facilities at Korro Bio. “The design resonates with our culture and mission, and the spaces are built to grow with us as we continue to expand. It was a great experience, and I would jump at the chance to work with these teams again.”
The fit-out was not only completed ahead of schedule but also came in under budget, a testament to TRIA’s commitment to delivering high-quality results for its clients. TRIA’s approach integrates a holistic strategy that combines architecture, interior design, lab planning, wayfinding, visualization and sustainability to create a collaborative work environment that is adaptable to the company’s evolving needs.
“This project was a fantastic collaboration between Korro Bio’s leadership and our design team. We were excited to create a space that encourages connection, flexibility, and inspiration,” said Amanda Roderman, project manager at TRIA. “Our goal was to design an environment that reflects Korro Bio’s cutting-edge work in the biopharmaceutical field while offering employees a comfortable, dynamic place to thrive.”
Korro Bio’s new headquarters exemplifies the potential for thoughtful, purpose-driven design to shape the future of science and innovation. The office and lab spaces provide an optimal setting for the company’s teams to collaborate. The building design is LEED-certifiable, showcasing TRIA’s commitment to creating sustainable spaces.
