Boston is one of the strongest life science clusters in the world and Cambridge represents its epicenter. The Quad is a ±520,000-square-foot, 9.8-acre transitioning life science campus in the high-demand life sciences market of Cambridge, MA.
The Quad is Cambridge’s newest life science and lab campus that encompasses four redeveloped buildings: 10 Wilson Rd, 101 Smith Pl, 40 Smith Pl, and 75 Moulton St.
As the newest member of West Cambridge’s life science cluster, The Quad sets itself apart from others by encouraging the blend of workplace and lifestyle to drive curiosity and innovative thinking.
The Quad is a place that brings ideas to life so that others in the community can do the same.
This is the part of Cambridge where thinking meets doing, where innovation meets ingenuity, and where discovery meets action.
Welcome to the Quad — it’s more than just research, its the new home of innovation.
Cambridge hasn’t always been home to pricey condos, glass skyscrapers and corporate headquarters. The spirit of Cambridge has always lived in spaces that mingle academic thinking with industrial tinkering.
The Quad is a hub for creative and scientific innovation with a bold presence that demands attention among some of the most decorated scientific institutes on the East Coast.
It was in these spaces where companies like Texas Instruments, Gillette, E-Ink and Vertex Pharmaceuticals took root and changed the world. To this day, that spirit continues to thrive in the Cambridge and Alewife community.
This is the part of the Boston area where collaboration, ingenuity, and discovery come together to spark a new change.
At the center of this innovative movement is The Quad – a new campus of creative, flexible buildings that fosters the ideas of tomorrow. With unique outdoor spaces, modern amenities, and community engagement, The Quad centers itself as the newest hub for life science in Cambridge and beyond.
