On Nov. 9, 2020, after more than two years of reconstruction efforts, scientists from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center moved into their new labs at the newly renovated Lake Union Steam Plant.

The 106,000-square-foot historical building provides a collaborative space for nearly 300 scientists and staff focused on immunotherapy, translational data science and related programs.

The new space expands Fred Hutch’s wet lab space by 15 percent and its total real estate footprint to 1.4 million square feet. Fred Hutch signed a renewable 10-year lease of the former Zymogenetics facility in 2018 and spent the last two years heavily renovating the space.
