Unispace Acquires Life Sciences Facility Design Firm BioPharma Engineering
Boston, MA-based Unispace, a workplace strategy, design and construction firm, has acquired BioPharma Engineering. The Cork, Ireland-based firm designs and delivers laboratory, research and manufacturing facility space for the life sciences industry.
Blitzer, Clancy & Company advised Unispace in the acquisition.
“Partnering with BPE is a natural move for us,” said Steve Quick, CEO of Unispace. “Companies in this sector are challenged with expanding their footprint rapidly to meet skyrocketing demand.”
Unispace’s current clients include Boston Scientific, Abbott and Merck. The acquisition of BPE, which will become BPE, A Unispace Life Sciences Company, gives Unispace additional technical capabilities to lead additional project types including laboratory, research and manufacturing facilities.
BPE’s employees will join Unispace’s global team, led by BPE managing director John O’Reilly, who has also been appointed Unispace’s global managing director for life sciences. O’Reilly will continue to be based in Cork, Ireland, and the location will become Unispace’s center life sciences specialization.
