Dark metal paneling continues to shape the exterior facade of the new Fulton Labs at 400 N Aberdeen, a 16-story biosciences office building in West Loop’s Fulton Market. Trammell Crow Company is the developer alongside Zoë Life Sciences, having planned over 420,000 square feet of programming.

Other tenant features include two private terraces on every level, as well as a special smart window technology by View Inc that changes tint automatically or according to each tenant’s needs.
