Kaplan Construction Renovates Lab at Northeastern University

BOSTON, Mass. — Kaplan Construction has recently been selected by Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, to renovate a laboratory for the College of Engineering.

In its first project on Northeastern’s Boston campus, Kaplan will renovate an existing interior laboratory at the Egan Engineering/Science Research Center and install new mechanicals, lighting, fire alarm, finishes and millwork to create a new experimental laboratory.

The research facility includes a grouping of labs that currently serve multiple professors and students. The new lab will contain a 1,300 gallon acrylic water tank for experiments and an adjacent space with workstations where graduate students can plan and review experiments. In order to minimize disruptions, the lab space has soundproofing features in the walls, ceiling and doors.

During construction, the neighboring labs will be operational so Kaplan and its sub-contractors will coordinate work closely with Northeastern faculty and staff to reduce interruptions to ongoing experiments.
