The firm relocated in December from 955 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge to the downtown Boston office tower owned by Oxford Properties Group.
- The 16,333-square-foot workspace was designed by Dyer Brown Architects to target both WELL Silver and LEED version four Platinum standards.
- To meet the WELL Building Standard, Arup plans to include large pantry and lounge areas, a wellness room and an active movement office layout designed to encourage physical activity. Other WELL elements include a circadian lighting system that simulates changing sunlight and high levels of outside air circulation.
