This includes a host of technologies, materials, design approaches, and best practices for health, safety and sustainability, alongside features and spaces that enhance wellness and social connections for our tenants and the surrounding community.

Embodying this approach, Sequence offers an environmentally responsible, intelligent adaptive reuse design that melds parts of the original structure with purpose-built elements for the modern needs of research, development, and life science tenants. We've prioritized energy and water conservation in our design, striving to minimize Sequence's carbon footprint through a combination of techniques such as stormwater retention, solar-paneled rooftops, and water-efficient installations throughout the premises. Taking our commitment to environmental stewardship a step further, we actively monitor and share data on utility consumption and occupants' behaviors to foster continual eco-friendly improvements. To promote sustainable habits among our tenants, we provide amenities like EV chargers, and a bike fleet for local exploration, and a subsidized commuter pass program for our tenants' employees.

At Sequence, we don't just accommodate the future of research - we participate in the creation of it.

The buildings are engineered with features to ensure the continuity of operations in the face of potential disruptions, such as earthquakes or other natural disasters. We take a three-pronged approach to safety, combining data privacy measures, advanced physical security, and personnel to protect people, data and research, and the built environment. The building is designed with a comprehensive technology stack and data connectivity that focuses on supporting the tenant experience, property management and building maintenance and includes back-up generators and emergency preparedness plans to maintain continuity and support a goal of zero downtime.
