66 Galen Street

66 Galen Street in Watertown is a purpose-built life science facility designed to foster innovation and collaboration. Located in the heart of the growing Watertown Life Science cluster, the 225,000 SF building by Elkus Manfredi Architects features flexible, next-gen lab spaces complemented by a health and wellness-focused amenity package. Central to this vision are the tenant lobby, lounge spaces, café, and outdoor areas, which are designed to encourage collaboration, connection, and relaxation. With 40% of the site dedicated to green space and a planned Phase II expansion, the facility provides a dynamic environment that supports both productivity and well-being.

Red Thread played a key role in enhancing the community experience by providing furniture that aligns with the building’s focus on collaborative spaces and employee wellness. The carefully selected furnishings for the lounge areas and café support comfort and flexibility, encouraging interaction among tenants. These spaces were designed to foster connection, allowing individuals to collaborate effortlessly while also offering a retreat for relaxation. The thoughtful integration of furniture into these communal areas ensures that 66 Galen Street is not only a place to work but also a space where a sense of community can thrive.
