Cengage recently completed, multi-floor office workspace
Boston – Gilbane Building Company’s Boston office recently completed construction management services for the 117,000sf Cengage office at Pier 4 in the Seaport District.
Cengage, a global education and technology company, relocated from Fort Point’s Channel Center to the distinctive Block L4 Tower, where its multi-floor office features a workspace designed to encourage collaboration and spontaneous interactions among its nearly 600 Boston-based employees.
“Gilbane’s commitment to a partnership approach ensured alignment on this project and the resulting space exceeded our expectations,” said Steve Gibson, senior vice president of real estate, facilities, and procurement for Cengage. “Our employees are excited about the new office which facilitates collaboration and provides ample opportunity for working together in line with our culture.”
The new open floor plan features an interconnecting staircase, executive seating, meeting/conference rooms, general office space, and a private outdoor terrace, featuring state-of-the-art infrastructure and eco-friendly appliances and fixtures. The space is designed with sustainable systems and finishes, from activated lighting to bio-based products, to furniture and carpet with the lowest Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) possible.
