Cambridge, MA – The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design announced that KlingStubbins’ design of the Autodesk AEC
Headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts, was a recipient of a 2010 Green GOOD DESIGN Award. This particular award, a derivative of the organizations’ GOOD DESIGN program, celebrates successful sustainable design. The project competed against thousands of entries from over 46 nations.
Designed by KlingStubbins and constructed by Tocci Building Corporation, Autodesk’s Waltham facility was an interior retrofit project of an existing 61,000-SF speculative office building that earned 46 LEED credit points, exceeding the 42-credit level required for Platinum rating. To earn LEED Platinum status,
project stakeholders implemented sustainable design, digital design-to-fabrication, and integrated project delivery (IPD) as part of an overall building information modeling (BIM) process.
The project’s successful execution and innovative design resulted in a Best of Year Award from Interior
Design Magazine in its “Eco” category, a BIM Award Citation from the American Institute of Architects, and a
Good Design is Good Business Award from BusinessWeek and Architectural Record, among others.
The design for the Autodesk AEC Headquarters will be on display at the April 2011 Conference on the
Environment in Hamburg, Germany, sponsored by The European Centre and The Chicago Athenaeum.
