12 Farnsworth Street, Boston

12 Farnsworth Street is a 6-story, brick-and-beam Class-A life science research facility located in Boston’s burgeoning Seaport District. As part of a recent conversion project led by Phase 3 Real Estate Partners, the office building underwent extensive upgrades, including new MEP system infrastructure, a new service elevator and life safety generator, and a refreshed lobby and amenity program. Included in Phase 3’s GENESIS spec program, the newly renovated building provides customizable, move-in-ready laboratory spaces that allow prospective tenants to bring their science online and grow over time quickly. Single-floor tenant spaces offer approximately 14,000 RSF, with about 73,000 RSF available across the building.

Code Red Consultants served as the project’s fire protection and life safety code consultant, working alongside architect Perkins & Will, and continued to support Phase 3 Real Estate during construction by collaborating with the General Contractor Suffolk Construction to develop and implement practical and achievable NFPA 241 fire Prevention Programs and life safety system impairment plans. Code Red also supported Phase 3 by performing Third Party Firestop Special Inspections and participating in the building turnover process through inspections and testing with the Authorities Having Jurisdiction. The repositioning of the 12 Farnsworth Street building was further complicated by needing to maintain continuous occupancy of a street-level café tenant, in which through proper impairment planning and coordination with Suffolk Construction, their subcontractors, retail tenant operators, and the AHJ, renovation work was able to be conducted all while base building infrastructure remained available without disruption to the café tenant’s business operations.

Innovation & Design Building Lab Repositioning

The historic Innovation and Design Building, located in Boston’s Seaport District, was originally constructed in 1918 and has served in many different capacities over the prior century. Today, the 8-story complex, a joint venture of Jamestown and Related Beal, consists of 1.4 million square feet across what are known as 17, 19, 21, 23, and 25 Drydock, each separated by a building separation.  The west end of the complex (the historic 17 and 19 Drydock) was combined to a single building and now comprises the Boston Design Center. As part of a recent project, a portion of the building underwent a lab repositioning, which included new base building infrastructure, first-floor chemical storage rooms, core and shell renovations on Floors 4 through 7, and new shaft construction.  Partially overlapping with the base building repositioning, eight tenant fit outs occurred on Floors 5 through 8 for new lab users. The design showrooms comprising the Boston Design Center were concentrated to the building’s first three floors.

On the design side, Code Red Consultants (CRC) worked with the base building architect, SGA, and with the fitout architects of many of the projects as the code consultant.  Key design features included the new building control area strategy planning and coordination for multi-tenant floors.

On the construction side, CRC worked with the base budling contractor, Wise, as well as the fitout contractors, Sterling, Columbia, and Lee Kennedy, to prepare the NFPA 241, Construction Fire Safety Plans, and provide periodic site walks in conjunction with the general contractors.

CRC served as the ongoing smoke control special inspector for the stair pressurization systems in the building, working to ensure the continued proper operation of the systems, including keeping them up and running during construction, and also by demonstrating passing test results prior to life safety testing.

Most critically, given the partially occupied nature of the building, the team was responsible for coordination across multiple trades and projects to ensure that a code compliant state of life safety systems was maintained throughout construction, culminating in successful testing with the City of Boston Building and Fire Departments at the time of Base Building turnover, which occurred while multiple fitout projects remained ongoing. Through coordination and planning, the building-wide approach captured the necessary condition of the fitout spaces during the fitout construction, while also appreciating the necessary level of protection afforded at the building-wide level and was fully documented in the building-wide Project Turnover Plan.
