Morphotek Pilot Plant

Arcus Design Group is working on the implementation

of a new Pilot Plant for Morphotek, Inc. located in Lionville, PA. The project includes the demolition of three existing buildings and construction of a 60,000 SF building with interior equipment platform and interstitial catwalk system. 

Site Improvements and complete Fit-out will accommodate Offices, Research & Development Laboratories, cGMP Cell Culture Core Area and Warehouse, as well as supporting Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Systems.  The Owner intends to pursue Certification under LEED for New Construction, Version 2.2.  Re:Vision Architecture has been retained to assist the design team for the LEED process

during design and execution of the project.  This project follows completion of a previous 20,000 SF addition and interior renovation for the headquarters facility. Morphotek, Inc., a subsidiary of Eisai, Inc., is a Biopharmaceutical Company focused on the discovery and development of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of

cancer, inflammatory and infectious diseases.

The Homestead Office Building

In 2010, the Homestead project was recognized by BOMA of Philadelphia with the "Award for Outstanding Building of the Year" in the historic building category.  The renovation project was completed in Horsham, PA for the MRA Group.  The 16,000 SF project included the exterior renovation of the original historic farmhouse building and 1980's Addition along with an interior conversion from restaurant to office and medical office use.  The project included the first floor fit-out for medical offices and a second floor conversion for the Developer's own offices.  The design approach intended to respectfully restore the integrity of the 1700's farmhouse and expand and improve the functionality of the later Addition for contemporary office use.  Both the medical office space and the Developer's program were accommodated within the existing building, with a vibrant juxtaposition resulting

between the old and new portions of the building.
