Designed by architecture firm SGA, Autodesk’s BUILD (Building, Innovation, Learning, and Design) Space is a unique R&D workshop that provides a venue for architecture, engineering, and construction professionals to experiment in a shared, collaborative environment. Located in the Innovation and Design Building in Boston’s Seaport District, the interior fit-out included various workshops and laboratories that are used as “incubator” spaces by industry innovators and startup companies.

Code Red Consultants provided fire protection and life safety code consulting for the 67,000 SF space that houses more than 60 pieces of advanced fabrication machinery including Autodesk’s cutting-edge digital fabrication technologies, 3D printing, laser cutting, six industrial robots, and 11 workshops for woodworking, metal fabrication, and the like. Beyond code consulting services, Code Red Consultants developed a comprehensive hazardous materials and operation code report to outline the required protection features needed for the incubator spaces.
