The 20,000-SF renovation of existing office and mechanical spaces at The Jackson Laboratory transformed the facility into JAX’s “Office of the Future.”
Delivered on a fast-track schedule, the project included a new mechanical penthouse constructed above and structurally independent of the existing office building. Extensive logistical planning and coordination were essential to minimizing disruption to the clean-bottle operation located directly below the renovation area. This mission-critical operation supplies clean, sanitized water bottles to mice throughout JAX’s Bar Harbor research campus, making uninterrupted service essential to ongoing research activities.
Building on this experience, Landry/French continues to serve as JAX’s Construction Manager for projects within occupied vivarium spaces. Working in these highly sensitive, mission-critical environments requires meticulous planning, precise coordination, and a thorough understanding of research operations to minimize disruption and protect the continuity of critical facility functions.
