Cell Signaling Technology at the Old Quarry

A Visionary Net Zero Ready Biotechnology Campus

With construction activity on the 19-acre former quarry site imminent, this research and innovation campus development will be home to Cell Signaling Technology (CST), a life sciences discovery technology company and leading provider of custom antibodies.

A highly sustainable 127,000 SF cutting edge research facility comprises Phase One of the visionary development of an environmentally degraded former granite quarry.  Phase Two will provide a similar size facility and further restoration of the site.

HGA developed a Comprehensive Plan that envisions an innovative campus to attract top tier talent and embody CST’s commitment to prioritizing the environment and well-being of their employees, clients, and community.  Campus and building designs leverage unique site features by emphasizing connections between architecture and the surrounding natural landscape.  The laboratories will support CST scientists in their research and development of antibodies related to research in immunology, neurodegeneration, and epigenetics, fostering innovation at the forefront of cellular technologies.

An overarching project goal is to deliver a net zero ready research campus development that maximizes renewable energy sources while substantially reducing fossil fuel use.  Heating, cooling, and hot water for the building will be sourced from geothermal well fields. Additional energy conservation and embodied carbon reduction measures include maximizing onsite solar PV, battery storage, shared fume hood strategies, and mass timber construction for non-lab areas.
