The Gateway Park

Located near the intersection of I-190 and I-290 in Worcester, the Gateway Park is transforming a 12-acre former industrial site into a mixed-use destination for life sciences and biotech companies and the people who work for them. The project will include five life sciences buildings totaling 500,000 square feet of flexible, adaptable lab space designed to meet the needs of research organizations; 241,000 square feet of market rate, loft condominiums; and several planned retail establishments. The first building, the WPI Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center, was completed in spring 2007; additional buildings are in the planning stages.

In fall 2007, the Gateway Park won two major national awards for excellence in designing the re-use of former industrial sites. Undergraduate projects in the life sciences are conducted here as well as in Salisbury Labs and Goddard Hall.

For more information on the Gateway Park, see the Gateway Park website.
