Ellenzweig

Ellenzweig’s James Blount is an invited speaker at this year’s Future Labs Live in Basel, Switzerland, June 26-27, 2024, a leading global event for lab innovation and technology that brings together people from around the world in science, biotech, and pharma. In his session, “Future research lab environments,” Jim will discuss the emerging lab technologies and infrastructure that address the demand for highly flexible and adaptable lab environments in order to support today’s scientific and engineering research.

Ellenzweig is proud to support this year’s New England Women’s Leadership Awards given by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester. Congratulations to members of NEWLA event committee, who included Ellenzweig’s Kara Dunne and Gesse Faber, and the BGCD members and staff for an inspiring evening that supports the work of the Clubs. This year’s awards celebrated three incredible women--Cara Belvin, Founder and CEO of Empower; Allison Feaster, VP of Team Operations of the Boston Celtics; and Huong Vu, Family Engagement Specialist of BGCD--each recognized for their significant contributions as role models for the next generation of women leaders.

Ellenzweig’s Peter Herman and Jacob Werner join with Valerie Fletcher from the Institute for Human Centered Design to lead an interactive session at the upcoming SCUP 2024 North Atlantic Conference in Boston that explores how thoughtful, inclusive design can transform teaching and research environments for the betterment of all.

Labs are the original active learning spaces but they lag behind other academic environments in providing inclusivity and accessibility. This session will explore practical ideas for enabling inclusion and anticipating a broader reality of disability, which will allow colleges and universities to further student success and career access in STEM fields.

Ellenzweig's Jacob Werner is an invited speaker at the upcoming 18th CDC International Symposium on Biosafety in Atlanta, March 10-14, focused on modernizing biosafety operations and practices in laboratories. As part of the day’s theme of “The Modern Workplace,” on Tuesday, March 12, Jacob will give a presentation and lead a workshop that discusses reducing energy and implementing sustainability measures in the design of labs without compromising safety.

We are delighted to welcome back Tom Melville, AIA, LEED AP, CPHC, and Bob Caddigan, who have both rejoined the firm.

An award-winning designer, Tom has 30 years of experience with the design and construction of academic science and engineering buildings as well as healthcare facilities.

Bob has over 40 years of experience in the design and construction of a wide range of facilities, including science teaching and research buildings, hospitals, and life science lab buildings.

We came together last week to share in some holiday cheer, celebrate our 2023 successes, and toast our new president Neil Cahalane, who is succeeding outgoing president Michael Lauber (who is really looking forward to focusing on his project work.)

And during a lively Yankee swap, it became clear that the laser measuring tool was a must-have for many of our staff as it quickly became the most swapped-for item!
