Building 114 is a biomedical research facility for Massachusetts General Hospital. The 108,000 square foot design involved the historic reuse of a fire-damaged and derelict Navy joinery shop. The historic waterfront building was preserved in accordance with the National Park Service guidelines, while also meeting local regulations for waterfront development.

Two new floors were inserted within the original building envelope and integrated to work with the existing window openings. New windows were manufactured to match the historic originals and engineered to meet the exact environmental performance standards of a modern research laboratory.
