M Lab Collaboration Center: Innovative Office Space for 400 Employees
Project's Summary
CUBE 3 Studio, LLC, a renowned architectural firm, played a pivotal role in the development of the M Lab™ Collaboration Center. This cutting-edge project involved creating a new office space that could accommodate approximately 400 employees from various nearby locations, including Bedford, Billerica, and Danvers, making it the new North American headquarters for the company. The addition of approximately 70,000 gross square feet (GSF) expanded the Summit Office to a total of 350,000 SF of Class A Corporate Office Space, solidifying its status as a premier global destination.
The architects at CUBE 3 Studio intelligently incorporated the existing structural bay spacing of Phase I into the upper floors (3-5) of the new addition. This seamless integration allowed for a harmonious transition between the original building and the expansion. To meet the specific requirements of the tenant program at the lower floors, a two-story jog-out was cleverly designed at the southeast corner of the building.
The design of the M Lab™ Collaboration Center was carefully crafted to extend and enhance the sleek contemporary aesthetic of Phase I. By utilizing the same façade elements, the architects were able to create a cohesive and visually striking complex. The result is a modern, inviting workspace that perfectly aligns with the company's image and values.
One of the primary objectives of the M Lab™ Collaboration Center is to provide a state-of-the-art exploratory environment. This facility will serve as a hub where scientists, engineers, and customers can work closely together to tackle the most challenging life science questions. The center's purpose is to foster collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving, ultimately driving groundbreaking advancements in the field.
In summary, CUBE 3 Studio's involvement in the M Lab™ Collaboration Center project has been instrumental in creating a remarkable office space that meets the needs of approximately 400 employees. The expansion seamlessly integrates with the existing structure, extending the contemporary image of Phase I. The Summit Office Park has now solidified its position as a premier global destination, housing a cutting-edge facility that encourages collaboration and innovation in the life sciences sector.
