Gravity Diagnostics was a small lab, launched in 2015, and struggling to turn a profit.
When the Covid-19 virus emerged in 2019, the company leadership anticipated that this new virus would be highly contagious. They might be able to put the small lab's analytical skills and health care connections to work to fight the virus, and improve the bottom line. And improve it did. It required leasing new lab space down the street from their existing facility. W5 DESIGN, was called in to assist with construction documents, space planning, and interior design for the renovation of an historic warehouse to turn this raw space into 57,000 sf of testing labs, offices, break room, conference rooms, lobby, and exterior facade refresh. Eventually Gravity also took over an additional nearly 20,000 sf on the 1st and 2nd floors which W5 DESIGN assisted with design and construction documents.
