BioBuilder Educational Foundation, a nonprofit offering innovative ways to teach, learn and explore cutting-edge science and engineering, announced the opening of its new Learning Lab space to facilitate life sciences educational programming. The new space is part of the Allston Labworks, a mixed-use campus, developed by King Street Properties, located on Western Avenue. Allston Labworks will offer state-of-the-art research labs, residential and retail spaces, and over an acre of public open space, making it a hub for both life science companies and the Allston community. The newest Learning Lab offers ongoing BioBuilder programming and workforce training programs to provide local students, educators and incumbent workers with hands-on experience for 21st century biotechnology.
Capital equipment for the Learning Lab was made possible through more than $630,000 worth of funding through the Massachusetts Life Science Center’s (MLSC) STEM Equipment and Professional Development Grant Program.
