Pittsburgh Labs

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - 1401 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 (also 1425 Forbes Avenue)

Part of Boulevard Building Inc. (Smerd Group)

About

Pittsburgh Labs is the life-sciences leasing brand of Boulevard Building Inc. (a Smerd Group company), offering ready-to-go and custom-built wet lab and office space in two converted turn-of-the-century warehouses — the Forbes Pride Building (a former Reymer Brothers candy factory) and the historic Forbes Stevenson Building — in Pittsburgh's Uptown innovation corridor. Unlike a shared incubator, this is a direct-lease landlord model with private, buildable suites from roughly 1,350 to 13,200 sq ft, heavy steel-and-concrete floors for equipment loads, freight elevator, abundant power and rooftop backup generation. It sits directly across from UPMC Mercy's $750M Vision and Rehabilitation Pavilion and Duquesne University's new School of Osteopathic Medicine, and has already housed two acquired biotechs: Abound Bio (Galapagos) and Special Pathogens Laboratory (Pace Labs).

11000 Cedar Startup Incubator (Case Western Reserve University)

US
Cleveland

11000 Cedar is Case Western Reserve University's four-story, 80,000 sq ft startup incubator directly across from CWRU's main campus in Cleveland's Innovation District, with roughly 30,000 sq ft of wet lab space plus dry labs and offices. Licensing scales from a single 8-foot shared bench up to large private labs, so pre-seed founders and funded startups can sit in the same building as 30+ other health-tech ventures. Its differentiator is proximity: members get significantly discounted access to CWRU core facilities, faculty expertise and student talent, with Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and the Cleveland VA all within a mile.

ACC Bioscience Incubator

US
Austin

The ACC Bioscience Incubator (ABI) is Austin Community College's ~9,500 sq ft wet lab incubator on the Highland Campus (the former Highland Mall), billed as Austin's only dedicated bioscience startup incubator. Founders lease benches in one of four shared labs — or one of two exclusively-leased 400 sq ft ISO 8 cleanrooms with gowning rooms and piped gas — and get access to roughly $1.6M in shared instrumentation including an Illumina MiSeq, AKTA Pure FPLC, Beckman Optima ultracentrifuge, BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer and QuantStudio 3 qPCR. It's non-dilutive (companies keep 100% of IP and equity) and plugs startups into ACC's technical student workforce, three miles from the UT Austin campus.
