BOSTON, Mass. – Lendlease was recently selected to provide construction management services for Pfizer’s new biologics clinical manufacturing facility in Andover, Massachusetts.
On June 16, Pfizer broke ground for the 175,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that will enable the production of high-quality, complex biologics and vaccines.
The new clinical manufacturing facility is designed with five independent manufacturing suites to support Pfizer’s highly complex and diverse biologics research effort. The facility will:
- Employ flexible design to fully enable next generation manufacturing strategies
- Leverage state-of-the-art, single-use bioreactors and disposable process technologies
