Fairfield Mall was a mall in Chicopee, Massachusetts. It opened in 1974 and closed down in 2001. In 2004, it was reported to have sold for $4.3M. A major contributing factor to the demise of Fairfield was Holyoke Mall at Ingleside, which was touted as 'the third largest mall in America'
The mall was strategically located on Memorial Drive (Rt. 33) in Chicopee. When it closed down, Caldor went into bankruptcy (in 1998) and Bradlee's closed its doors.
The property was redeveloped in 2001 into the Chicopee Marketplace which included Home Depot, Staples, and Wal-Mart. The property is still being developed.

BioSyn is a fictional genetics company from the novels Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World.
Biosyn was one of the competitors of InGen, the genetics company of John Hammond and the engineers behind Jurassic Park, and focused on many similar projects. In the first book, the company was engineering a new pale trout with the Department of Fish and Game of Idaho. Biosyn was working on ways for the trout to be easier to spot in streams, but side effects of this engineering lead the fish to die of sunburn, and for its flesh to be soggy and tasteless.
Due to setbacks and the competition with InGen, calls an urgent meeting to discuss with the Biosyn Board of Directors InGen and their genetic engineering of dinosaurs. According to Dodgson, there will be nothing illegal about obtaining the DNA; however, Dodgson pays Dennis Nedry $1.5 million to steal the embryos of 15 species from Isla Nublar. Nedry is eaten by a dinosaur while the stolen embryos are seemingly lost forever.
In the novel The Lost World, Dodgson arrives on the island of Isla Sorna or "Site B". This time he comes to steal dinosaur eggs, along with two cohorts, Howard King and George Baselton. The plan fails, and the three are killed.
In the movie version of Jurassic Park, Dodgson is seen giving Nedry the means to steal the embryos, but Biosyn is not mentioned. Neither Biosyn nor Lewis Dodgson are seen or mentioned in The Lost World film; they are replaced by InGen.
Biosyn appears in the video game Jurassic Park: Trespasser when the player finds a wrecked Biosyn helicopter (and the deceased pilot) that was going to Isla Sorna after it was abandoned, presumably to steal InGen's technology.
In Michael Crichton's 2006 novel, Next, Biosyn is mentioned when a character is listing off various genetic industry giants.
