Bedford, Mass. – Maugel DeStefano Architects announced design has begun on a new 169,500 SF research and development facility for Werfen, a worldwide leader in specialized diagnostics in the areas of Hemostasis, Acute Care Diagnostics and Autoimmunity. The building will be located at Werfen’s Hartwell Road campus in Bedford, Mass., on the site of an existing warehouse that will be demolished.
The two-story research facility will feature 27,500 SF of lab and 91,000 SF of office space on the first and second floors, perched over a 51,000 SF ground-level drive-in parking area for 160 vehicles. A new elevated bridge will connect the research facility to the adjacent building on the second floor.

This new R&D facility will provide Werfen with an advanced center for research and space for future growth.”
