Boston – Environments at Work recently announced that it has completed significant upgrades to Boston Ballet

Boston – Environments at Work recently announced that it has completed significant upgrades to Boston Ballet, an institution whose mission is to bring new levels of excellence and access to the art form of ballet, both on and offstage. Environments at Work and architect Gensler of Boston collaborated to overhaul the existing spaces and provide Boston Ballet with a fresh design that will offer both dancers and administrative staff a flexible environment for years to come. The general contractor for the project was J. Calnan & Associates of Quincy.
Environments at Work worked closely with the client to outline a product delivery and installation schedule that minimized impact on office staff as well as the rehearsal and recital schedules of the dancers. With the renovation project affecting occupied spaces such as private offices, the lobby area, the dancers’ lounge and the box office, the installation of Haworth Compose workstations and the Zody Task Chair and Side Chair provided long-needed upgrades throughout much of the facility.
The efforts made to create a functional space with excellent flexibility while working within an active performing arts space required a great deal of coordination and communication, according to Barry Hughson, Boston Ballet executive director.
In addition to working with Environments at Work, Gensler helped the client update its facility with new paint and carpet, transformed the lobby and added a new cantilevered boardroom within Studio 7, as well as rehearsal and performance space.
