Where Science Meets Art: Local Murals Transform a Boston Research Facility

This new life sciences research facility provided a unique opportunity to redesign the workspace as a tribute to Boston’s diverse neighborhoods.

TurningArt curated 21 murals across several floors, with each floor featuring two murals inspired by a specific neighborhood. Six local artists were involved, and the team worked under a tight timeline to ensure the building met the environmental standards required for LEED Gold certification.

The result is a vibrant, creative workspace that connects employees and visitors to Boston’s culture, fostering inspiration through local art.

From Helen, the Art Advisor 

 
"Working on this project for a new life science research facility in Boston was both thrilling and fast-paced. Our goal was to ensure that each mural deeply resonated with the neighborhood it represented, making every floor distinctive while maintaining cohesion throughout the building.

The challenge of collaborating with six talented artists and creating 21 murals within a short time frame pushed us to be both efficient and innovative. The final result is a series of spaces that highlight Boston’s unique charm and spark creativity. It was a privilege to be part of such a community-centered project."
 
 From Sarah Springer, Design Principal at Jacobs

"Our vision was to make the new facility a reflection of Boston’s vibrant and diverse neighborhoods, especially as we expanded our workforce. TurningArt’s expertise helped us curate murals that not only capture the character of each neighborhood but also elevate the atmosphere of the entire building.

Collaborating with local artists was a key part of the process, and the murals have transformed each floor into an energetic and dynamic space. TurningArt’s ability to navigate the schedule and environmental standards made them invaluable partners in bringing our vision to life."
