Lantheus is a leader in the medical imaging field, with a 60-year history of innovation in devices, products and procedures used worldwide. The company occupies a 76-acre campus in North Billerica, MA. with eight buildings of various sizes and uses.


Building B-110 was originally built in 1972 as a truck depot and subsequently enlarged in 1985 when Lantheus purchased it. VIVO was retained to re-roof and re-skin the building, and to provide a new aesthetic that would be evocative of and showcase the innovative research and design work that is being done inside. Lantheus desired an appearance that would be sensitive to the neighboring residential community and update the building to provide improved amenities for employees, collaborators, and visitors.


A particular challenge was how to re-skin and re-roof the building without any interruptions to the interior activities. This was solved by finding lightweight roofing and cladding materials that can be installed directly over the existing construction. This strategy provides a quiet, non-intrusive construction process, minimizes waste and disposal costs and provides enhanced protection and energy efficiency. The MR-24 Roofing system standing seam galvalume panels with thermaliner insulation only adds 3 LBS/SF of weight and can be installed without modifying the existing structure. The design strategy was so successful that Lantheus expanded the scope to include two additional buildings in the campus with similar upgrade needs.


A detailed Department of Energy model was developed that revealed total energy consumption will be reduced by 10%, resulting in tax benefits and rebates from energy providers. The site drainage systems will be upgraded to naturally clean all storm water before it drains to nearby wetlands; A raingarden and several new landscape swales will make this process more visible while creating outdoor rooms for gathering and relaxation, including a new employee deck capitalizing on the natural surroundings. Paved areas have been reduced to minimize the heat island effect. Parking areas are removed from the front of the building to enhance its appearance and create a natural buffer for the surrounding residential neighborhoods. In addition, site lighting has been improved for better wayfinding while reducing glare and light pollution.
