(NYSE: BMR) today unveiled a new brand identity that highlights the company's commitment to the life science industry by delivering state-of-the-art laboratories and office spaces to meet the unique needs of its tenants. The brand identity features an energetic new look comprised of a monogram logo in the stylized shape of the company's initials and NYSE ticker symbol, BMR, and a new tagline, Discover here™.
