CURE Innovation, LLC (a subsidiary of Connecticut United for Research Excellence, Inc.) commissioned TLB Architecture, LLC to transform former Building 286 on the Groton Campus of Pfizer, Inc. into an entrepreneurial biomedical and ancillary research co-working space in southeast Connecticut.

Originally a Food Research Laboratory, the building was most recently used as administrative space for Pfizer, with the laboratories mothballed.   The transformation not only brought the labs back to productive use, but added premier office and event space in the 22,000 sf building.

CURE serves as the science cluster of Connecticut, a diverse network of small and large life and healthcare sciences companies, ranging in scope from therapeutics, to healthcare technology, to medical devices.  Universities, government agencies, scientists, educators, mentors, students, entrepreneurs, business experts, service providers and investors join in to nucleate the breadth of the network.
