Once slated for demolition, the Red Shed Building on Northland Avenue is now the home of a fast-growing medical device startup.
Garwood Medical Devices moved into the 5,866-square-foot building, owned by Buffalo Urban Development Corp., late in 2020 after an extensive renovation. The facility is adjacent to the BUDC-owned building that houses the Northland Workforce Training Center, among other businesses.
Garwood, led by co-founders Wayne Bacon and Brian Peterson, recently raised $4 million in Series C funding to continue commercializing its BioPrax infection control technology. As the company eyes clinical trials sometime next year, it is also working with BUDC on adding full scale production space somewhere nearby.
The Red Shed building is now a mix of modern office space, pilot manufacturing and laboratory space. The company recently let Business First photographer Joed Viera inside to take a peek.
