Life Sciences: Medical & Laboratory Furniture to Fuel Innovation
How bkm Supports Cutting-edge Life Sciences Work Through the Pandemic and Beyond
Life sciences professionals spend their days delving into the nature of life itself and unraveling its many mysteries. This delicate, essential work has only grown in relevance due to the global pandemic. As many industries shut down, thousands of health sciences professionals have remained working in Southern California laboratories—and working remotely is not an option. bkm OfficeWorks creates customized solutions for life sciences professionals representative of your culture, work ethic, and a desire to create in ways that are both safe and innovative. No two life science companies are alike; that’s why we specialize in understanding how you work within your space.
The life sciences industry is a thriving ecosystem in San Diego, driving billions in venture capital funding and economic revenue—not to mention significant advances in the battle against dangerous diseases such as COVID-19. We are the third-largest life sciences cluster in the country, following Boston and San Francisco. Together these cities accounted for 70 percent of all venture capital investment in 2019. Commercial real estate figures tell a similar story: more than 2.7 million square feet have been added since the beginning of 2016 and 363,000 sq. ft. are currently under construction for life sciences enterprises.
“In total, San Diego’s life science industry generates about $41 billion in economic activity and helps to support 175,000 jobs.” Biocom
