Lowell, MA – Maugel Architects has completed approximately 11,000sf of office space for Borrego Solar Systems, Inc., an installer of solar and electric systems located at 55 Technology Drive in Lowell.
Maugel’s innovative design features a mix of private and open office areas and amenities. The open office area features a large centrally located conference room lined with floor-to-ceiling frameless glass walls —designed around a custom-made solar panel table; an employee lounge and games area; and cubicles arranged in a bullpen formation with 48-inch walls and glass panel to allow for collaboration and visual connection to the exterior.
Additional team members included Redstar Contracting and EDE Engineers.
This is Maugel’s second commission for Borrego Solar.

The property at 55 Technology Drive was well known to Maugel. The firm had previously renovated the building’s lobby and common areas and designed multiple office fit-ups for the space while it was owned by Nordblom Company. Maugel was working with the current owners, Novoya Real Estate, to market the building when Borrego expressed interest.
Brendan Nagle, chief operating officer at Borrego Solar Systems, said, “Maugel created the perfect space for us at Technology Drive—with its open floor plan, glass walls, ample conference rooms and lounge areas, we are able to work more collaboratively and comfortably. We are continuing to build out the Borrego team and while we needed an office that could accommodate our practical needs for space, we also wanted the office to facilitate our inclusive work culture and be a welcoming space to host customers.“
