BEST ADAPTIVE RE-USE PROJECT

PROJECT NAME

Biomeme Headquarters and Research Space

WINNER

P. Agnes, Inc.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

When the pandemic struck in early 2020, Biomeme, a molecular diagnostic startup behind a rapid Covid-19 test, swiftly took action. Within a year, their production levels had increased exponentially, and their workforce grew from 35 to 120 Philadelphia-based employees. To accommodate this rapid growth, Biomeme set out to relocate its headquarters and research space. P. Agnes, Inc. and the entire project team worked together to transform 44,000 square feet of empty space on the second floor of 401 North Broad Street into a state-of-the-art headquarters and research facility that accommodates Biomeme’s laboratory, testing, manufacturing, and office operations.
