Ironwood to Complete Second Gaming Facility

Malden, MA – Around the corner from Boda Borg, completed by Ironwood in 2015, 8D Room Escape & Board Games will occupy a 3,300sf space in Malden Center and will open to the public early summer 2017. The concept was designed and developed by QB Entertainment of Quincy.

The project began in October 2016 with a full conception-to-construction delivery model. Ironwood’s design build team, led by Molly Pidgeon, has worked side by side with QB Entertainment owners Derrick Zhao and Mo Liang, making every inch of this space visually intriguing and mentally stimulating.

Upon stepping into the reception area, guests will feel they are in for a sensory experience. The textures and colors at the entry evoke a sense of drama and hint at the experiential environments beyond the archway.

Lead designer and project manager Resa Gray encountered many existing condition challenges impacting design and construction, including low ceiling heights, floor elevation changes, and the overall condition of the space due to its being vacant for so long.
