In continuing its commitment to science, nature, and design, New England Biolabs expanded its campus with a 165,000 square foot addition. The Garden Site Facility features 29,610 square feet of custom copper wall panels designed to complement the aged copper cladding on the earlier 2006 laboratory building. Working with A. Zahner Company, a rigorous prototyping process ensured the new copper panels visually aligned with the original panels. The result honors New England Biolabs' environmental ethos and brand values while delivering aesthetic and functional continuity.
