A transformation at 51 Melcher Street
The transformation of 51 Melcher Street into a state-of-the-art life sciences facility represents a landmark achievement for Wise Construction and our project partners. The 100,000 SF building was converted from office use into a high-performance space supporting the evolving demands of the life sciences industry. Featuring a 60/40 lab-to-office space, the project included nine AHUs – one for each floor – along with new rooftop equipment, a switchgear room, boilers, pump skids, pH neutralization systems, and an electrical room. Every upgrade was carefully integrated to preserve the building’s historic character. Today, 51 Melcher is not just a model of adaptive reuse but a blueprint for future scientific breakthroughs.

Meet Jess: She joined Wise as an assistant superintendent. A Wentworth graduate with a Master’s in Architecture, she brings a rare blend of design insight and MEP system expertise. For nearly a decade, Jess worked as a VDC specialist, where she grasped the rhythm of construction both virtually and physically by turning plans into reality. This experience allowed her to anticipate issues digitally and solve them in real-time, all while collaborating with all stakeholders to maintain progress and ensure safety. With experience across all our market sectors, she currently works in the field, managing complex renovation projects for Science & Technology clients, helping guide them to successful outcomes.
Reflecting on her background and passion for her work, Jess shared, “I take equal pride in turning project designs into built realities one solved problem at a time, always with safety as the foundation, not an afterthought.”
