Healey-Driscoll Administration Announces Development of New State-of-the-Art Crime Lab in Marlborough
“The Healey-Driscoll Administration, through the Massachusetts State Police and the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), has recently announced plans to develop a state-of-the-art Crime Laboratory in Marlborough. The new facility, to be leased by the Commonwealth, will be developed by Greatland Realty Partners, an established leader in lab and life science projects, and supported by a seasoned design and construction team committed to delivering a cutting-edge, future-ready space.
The long-term lease for the approximately 200,000-square-foot facility, located at 100 Martinangelo Drive, Marlborough, has been executed in accordance with Asset Management Board approval, which authorized a 20-year lease term with two, 10-year extension options. The long-term lease approach is enabling the state police to obtain a much-needed facility several years faster than would be possible if the project had been delivered through traditional capital borrowing and public construction. The new facility will consolidate the current Maynard and Sudbury crime labs into a single location. The lab will accommodate more than 250 employees and provide room for future growth. Construction is scheduled to begin early 2026, with the opening planned for the first quarter of 2028.
“Massachusetts is a national leader in forensic science. Beyond the critical infrastructure, this project represents our continued commitment to scientific excellence, justice and public safety innovation,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “This purpose-built facility has been made possible by the strong collaboration between State Police, DCAMM and Greatland Realty Partners. I want to thank everyone involved for their continued partnership as this vision becomes a reality.”
“This project is a great creative example of DCAMM’s commitment to assisting the Commonwealth’s agencies in obtaining modern, high-performing facilities that support the vital public services they provide to their constituents,” said DCAMM Commissioner Adam Baacke.
The Marlborough site was chosen for its accessibility, proximity to major highways, and capacity to support the new jobs and additional economic development the facility will bring to both the City and surrounding region. The facility will be designed to meet LEED Silver standards and comply with the latest state energy codes, underscoring the Commonwealth’s commitment to sustainable development. The four-story facility, with the Crime Lab as its sole tenant, will activate a vacant site while delivering brand-new systems, accessible design, and secure privacy through its set-back location…..”
