Burlington, MA – Acentech Inc. of Cambridge provided consulting and design services for the new Avid Technology, Inc. corporate headquarters in Burlington. Avid is a provider of digital audio and video hardware and software products.
Working with the Boston office of Gensler who provided interior architectural design services, and the audiovisual contractor AVI-SPL, Acentech consulted on audiovisual systems design, architectural acoustics, and mechanical system noise and vibration control for the new 203,000sf headquarters.
Acentech developed a cutting-edge audiovisual design for the company’s new corporate headquarters, including a lobby with multiple translucent video displays; a multi-purpose customer demonstration room with high resolution multi-projector/multi-image rear screen projection, large 3D displays flanking the main display, surround sound, and audio and video conferencing and streaming capabilities; a multi-room training facility with dual large displays, conferencing and streaming capacities; and a central distribution point allowing remote control of any computer source with individual central processing unit (CPU) control.
The new facility also features a variety of conference rooms with single and multiple displays and audio and video conferencing capabilities, as well as interactive training facilities for hosting webcasts and seminars.
Acentech’s acoustical consultants worked with the design team at Gensler to define the acoustical goals for the project and translate these goals into an architectural vocabulary with solutions toward accomplishing them.
