Shortly after the buzz around the first anniversary of the opening of the Harvard Innovation Lab, Interior Design magazine announced more good news: a 2012 Best of Year (BOY) Merit Award for the Innovation Lab’s design in the Education category.
Since it opened in late 2011, the i-lab has quickly become a hub for entrepreneurs from across the campus. Ambitions for it are unbounded, as noted in an editorial in the Boston Globe in November 2012, “Success of Harvard’s i-lab could buoy the entire region.”
The Innovation Lab is the second Shepley Bulfinch project to receive an Interior Design BOY award in the past two years. The Link, a mixed-use project in Phoenix and home to the firm’s Arizona office, won a 2010 merit award.
