Brown University quietly dropped a teaser image for their planned Life Sciences Building in the Jewelry District. The building is planned for 233 Richmond Street (though the project may encompass adjacent lots). In the teaser image, the brick building at 60 Ship Street is visible to the left of the planned structure. Brown's facilities site puts the project completion date at Winter 2026. If we use the construction timeline of BU's Rajen Kilachand Center for Integrated Life Sciences, the project will probably take around 2 years from groundbreaking to occupancy (meaning construction is likely anticipated to begin by fall/winter of next year). If the new state health lab ever gets built, these buildings will face one another from opposite sides of the little square at Richmond and Ship, hopefully activating that space a bit.
Brown U. Integrated Life Sciences Building

- Start date
This morning, Brown released some images of the proposed design for their new Integrated Life Sciences Building. As planned, the building is seven-stories and 130 ft tall. This height is comparable to the new state health lab and the CIC building at 225 Dyer St.

Private parking lot next to (but unrelated to) the Narragansett beer corporate office building, I believe.

I can't find anything else but here is a more current rendering for the Brown life sciences building in the Jewelry District from TENBERKE ARCHITECTS D.P.C. Here's the story from PBN on approval from DDRC: https://pbn.com/brown-life-science-...BN+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=Daily_2023_1219

One of those Brown live cams also shows the progress of the RI State Lab project diagonally across the street. This corner will soon be a lot different with two 7 or more floor structures full of activity and workers.
