Across the United States, cities and communities are being significantly shaped by three core driving forces. First, there are millions of buildings constructed before the year 1970. Secondly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s an expansive amount of vacant office space , tallying up to billions of square feet. And lastly,  trillions of dollars are being invested into sustainable environmental solutions. These three factors capture many individuals’ attention, particularly real estate developers and owners. Their primary concern revolves around discovering valuable and innovative next-use options for the existing buildings, aligning with the evolving needs and goals of the modern era. Some of these spaces are undergoing transformation to meet the growing need for research and development space. This involves converting urban, mixed-use commercial buildings, including big-box retail, office,   and light industrial spaces, into research labs to foster innovation in the rapidly chan
