Took a little bit of Googling but found it under 300 Binney Street address. Broad Institute Selects HGA to Design 225,000 Square-Foot Lab and Office Space for Advanced Biomedical Research in Kendall Square

Yeah, it's an expansion of the Broad Institute into this building (which was formerly Biogen). Apparently the Broad is all-out gutting this thing (which wasn't even that old to begin with - 2015, maybe?). Likely due to their unique lab use needs.

Presented in a design review submittal to Cambridge Redev. Authority - "300 Binney St. - CRA Design Review"
 
Thats interesting. I know theyre doing essentially the same thing to that brutalist building over by ink block, plus the old hancock building in the seaport. I’m sure theres a couple others I’m not thinking of too.

It wasn't a lab building before, and they are completely retrofitting it to be a lab building. It was 5 floors of offices before, with ground level features like childcare and a gym.

The new pedestrian cut through on the left side of this image is amazing. Makes walking to Kendall a couple minutes faster. And you get a great view of the construction site!
