"Cambridge has been our home for many years. Opening our new facility in Cambridge Crossing is allowing us to bring together our employees across Massachusetts under one roof – which is an important step in facilitating the kind of collaboration needed to fulfill our purpose of chasing the miracles of science to improve people's lives."
Sanofi at Cambridge Crossing consists of two buildings, both U.S. Green Building Council LEED® Gold Certified, totaling 900,000 square feet and located at 450 Water Street and 350 Water Street. The campus incorporates state–of–the–art environmental features, including automated light dimming, CO2 sensors, and advanced heating/cooling systems, among others, to use energy and resources efficiently and to provide a healthy workspace for employees. WaterSense fixtures will harvest rainwater and create up to 60 percent water efficiency, from the EPA baseline, by using rainwater harvesting.
