Main Street Labs Innovation Hub Upfit Approved The Design Review Board (DRB) approved the upfit of Main Street Labs at 2 North Main Street. The City's new biotech hub will get an updated look to match the innovations already underway inside. The building already has its first innovation hub tenant. Last year Kiyatec, a biotech company creating life-saving solutions for cancer patients, moved into the space.
The Board voted 4-0 to approve the exterior renovation proposal. The DRB found Main Street Labs proposal aligned with the character of the area. The Board approved the proposal to break the existing continuous facade into three separate fronts, creating visual interest and a smaller scale to better fit with the surrounding buildings.
