Northeastern University has bought an office building in Burlington, Massachusetts, for $33 million, the most recent purchase in its effort to expand the university’s number of satellite campuses across the United States.
The Huntington News reports that the Burlington BioCenter is a four-story, 109,085-square-foot building containing primarily office and scientific lab spaces. The building is around one mile away from Northeastern’s 14-acre Innovation Campus at Burlington.
The university says that Burlington BioCenter will serve as a home for Northeastern faculty researchers.
The Burlington BioCenter will join the other science and technology facilities owned by Northeastern in Burlington. These include an unmanned drone testing site, a military materials manufacturing laboratory and the George J. Kostas Research Institute for Homeland Security, home of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory — Northeast.
