According to Erin McLaughlin, ACEC’s VP of Private Market Resources as quoted by Engineering News Record, which covered the symposium, “the decision to hold the event is a reflection of both how the life sciences sector has become a major growth area for A/E companies and the emergence of the Boston area as the “hottest market in the when it comes to these markets.”

“The A/E industry is seeing that our developer clients in the commercial real estate space are increasingly moving towards designing—and even building spec space—that particularly targets life science tenants,” she said.  Read the whole ENR story here.
