Fulcrum Therapeutics

Fulcrum Therapeutics is a biotechnology company known for its research and development programs to treat genetic diseases in their embryonic stage.

Occupying two floors of the Jackson Building at MIT’s University Office Park, Fulcrum asked the VIVO team to design four specialty tissue culture labs and a new robotics lab. Space planning was a challenge due to the existence of a structural bay and a “C” shaped floor plate, a parallelogram with no ninety-degree corners.

We took advantage of the building’s unique geometry to create open and airy collaborative spaces. The 4th floor, being the smaller suite, housed the main break room, meeting areas, and offices. The 5th floor held the science spaces, a reception area, board rooms, and executive and general office suites.

The final finishes create a warm and inviting environment, including furniture and accent pieces carefully chosen to boost the space’s creative energy and Fulcrum’s innovative spirit.
