Why Lexington?

In November 2014, Boston Bioskills Lab opened it’s doors in Boston’s Seaport District. After seven years in the Seaport, we performed an extensive due diligence process to identify potential new locations for our business, including staying put, other areas in the Seaport and City of Boston, as well as locales just outside of Boston.  We knew our decision was a seminal and important moment for our business, so we let the data sourced through surveys and 1:1 conversations guide our decision.  Data collection centered on the development of a six-part critical business needs assessment, including:  1) client, surgeon, and employee location preference;  2) facility accessibility from major hospitals and local physician residences;  3) shipping & receiving logistics;  4) food and lodging costs;  5) traffic; and  6) parking ease.   

While the intel pointed toward Lexington, it still wasn’t an easy decision.  Hypothetical scenarios are no substitute for experience.  Fortunately, it didn’t take long to realize we made the right decision, because of the overwhelmingly positive feedback and response from clients and surgeons alike.  Any hesitation and anxiety prior to the move quickly subsided, which only left us asking this question, “Why didn’t we move sooner?”
