The new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building at Northeastern University in Boston is the first phase of the universityā€™s plan to develop 600,000 sf of new academic and research space.Ā 

Located on an existing surface parking lot, the site is connected to the main campus by a curved bridge. The 180,000-gsf ISEB will house four academic research disciplines: engineering, health sciences, basic sciences, and computer science.

All offices, staff workstations, conference rooms, break areas, cafĆ©s, and research labs look across the atrium.Ā 

The Building Team includes: Payette (architect), LeMessurier Consultants (SE), Arup (MEP/FP), Vanasse Hangen Brustlen (CE), Suffolk Construction (preconstruction adviser), Sullivan Code Group (code consultant), Vermeulens (cost estimating consultant), Soden (sustainability consultant), Howard/Stein-Hudson Associates (transportation planner/engineer), Stephen Stimson Associates (landscape architect), andĀ Acentech (architectural acoustics and mechanical noise and vibration consult).
