New England Biolabs Awarded Additional LEED® Building Certification for Expansion to its Laboratory Facility

NEB’s recently developed 100,000 square foot expansion to its production facility recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council

IPSWICH, Mass., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — New England Biolabs (NEB®) today announced that it has been awarded LEED® certification for its new 100,000 square foot expansion of the main laboratory facility at the company’s headquarters in Ipswich, MA, USA.  LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, which was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is the most widely used green building rating system in the world and is an international symbol of excellence.

“This is an exciting time for NEB, as we continue on a strong growth trajectory to meet the increasing needs of our customers across various life science sectors,” said Salvatore Russello, CEO of New England Biolabs. “The expansion of our facilities was designed not only to scale with this demand, but also to uphold our commitment to environmental sustainability in every aspect of our operations — whether developing new products, conducting basic research, or delivering and shipping to our customers.”

“Achieving this additional LEED certification underscores NEB’s dedication to sustainability, one of our core founding principles,” explained Russello. “We are honored by the recognition from the USGBC and remain committed to advancing our efforts in creating a better, more sustainable world.”

The new 100,000 square foot LEED-certified building, set within NEB’s rural campus, features a state-of-the-art biotech production facility, complete with advanced development and quality control labs. The expanded facility also includes a range of social amenities, breakout and diverse collaboration spaces, a campus-wide conference center, shipping and logistics areas, underground parking, and multiple roof terraces. This new space incorporated sustainable building design at every touchpoint and integrates seamlessly into the natural environment.

NEB has previously earned LEED certification for several of its facilities, including its main campus headquarters in Ipswich, as well as additional production facilities in Rowley and Beverly, MA.
