Rockland, MA—Equity Industrial Partners selected the Maugel Architects and Integrated Builders team to renovate nearly 200,000sf of space in the 9 Northeastern Boulevard facility for the new corporate headquarters of Enterasys Secure Networks. Enterasys consolidated its operations, supported by over 500 employees, at 9 Northeastern Boulevard in December of 2012.
The Enterasys Secure Networks project is the fourth new tenant that the team has provided new design and construction services to for Equity Industrial Partners at the 660,000sf facility.
The design work was produced by Maugel’s Harvard office and included space requirements programming and design of 140,000sf of office space and over 30,000sf of laboratory
space.
The design challenge was a familiar one—to transform the aesthetics of the facility to attract vibrant, growing corporate clients. Maugel responded by designing creative, cost-effective solutions to transform and contemporize the 1970’s structure. New building entries, glazing systems, exterior finishes and landscaping were designed to transition the aesthetic from industrial use to
a corporate campus environment. A variety of volumes and ceiling treatments were provided to transform the interior character of the spaces that feature floor-to-ceiling glass around the perimeter and numerous skylights.
Maugel took full advantage of the facility’s 22-foot-high ceilings by featuring ceiling clouds hung at a variety of heights. Some of these clouds were hung as high as 18’ and some were left out entirely—dramatically exposing the full height and structure of the voluminous space.
The team placed a priority on proactive coordination and management of the project. To accommodate
the budget and schedule, the team completed the space requirements programming, furniture
equipment inventories, and the schematic floor plan in fast-track mode in the first few weeks of the project.
John Hennessey of EIP, Jim Leiter and John Concannon of Integrated, and Mike Kunz and
Sarah Cormier of Maugel’s Harvard team coordinated all aspects of Enterasys’ complex consolidation.
OfficeWorks coordinated the owner’s furniture package with all other construction activities.
The size and the complexity of the project dictated a phased delivery of spaces. The interior construction was broken down into six quadrants of approximately 32,000sf each, which were delivered on a tightly managed scheduled.
