Unison Elliott Bay
Unison Elliott Bay | Seattle, WA
DPR Construction has modernized The RMR Group’s Unison Elliott Bay campus. Totaling 300,000 sq.-ft. spread over three buildings, the campus sits along the picturesque Seattle waterfront. As a design-assist partner, DPR worked with The RMR Group, Perkins & Will and ARUP to convert these previously commercial office buildings into a lab-enabled campus. The project scope included upgrading Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) infrastructure, updating lobbies and common spaces, adding new amenity areas such as a fitness area and conference spaces, and building nearly 75,000 sq.-ft. of fully finished spec suites catered to life science tenants. The project is seeking both LEED Gold and Fitwell certifications.

RMR Unison: Building 351
Building 351 remained a commercial office building. DPR demolished the interior of the first floor of this 5-story building and left the area in an open core and shell condition for future tenants. In order to be occupied quickly, the upper 4 floors remained as-is with minimal renovations. The main lobby was upgraded with finishes similar to those in Buildings 401 and 501 to create a cohesive campus feel.
RMR Unison: Building 401
Building 401 is a 4-story building that received significant MEP, roof, and elevator enhancements to make it more suitable for life-science tenants. After a complete demolition back to structure on all levels, DPR built out the entire building as spec suite and amenity spaces. Level 2 was built as a multi-tenant floor, each with a 60/40 lab-to-office ratio, while Levels 3 & 4 are full-floor, single tenant suites. The total spec suite area is approximately 75,000 sq.-ft. and include glass-walled conference rooms, gas services to lab benches, bio-safety cabinets and fume hoods, along with security and audio-visual systems.
RMR Unison: Building 501
Building 501 is a 4-story building where the core and shell was upgraded to attract a future tenant who can build it out to suit their needs. DPR’s scope of work for this building, as with Building 401, included replacing the roof, installing new primary electrical switchgear, panels, distribution, and building a new rooftop structural steel platform to support all new HVAC and plumbing equipment. Additionally, DPR installed a new fire sprinkler system with increased density to support future lab work, enlarged shaft openings in an existing post-tensioned slab to increase air supply and exhaust ventilation and enhanced the security and life-safety systems.
