Waltham, MA – Nelson recently completed the Verizon Innovation Center in Waltham. The 20,000sf, 75-foot high tower enables and showcases new innovations that tap the power of Verizon’s next-generation 4G LTE network.
The center glows with eight bundles of splayed, brightly lit fiber optics. Two curved sliding doors open to the rotunda portal triggering a lighting and audio display that serves as a dramatic entrance to the grand Piazza.
Meeting and gathering spaces are equipped to drive effective and efficient collaboration, and the network theatre enables immersive, innovative demonstrations that leverage lab and commercial networks to showcase leading-edge technology and industry solutions.
Audio-Visual systems installed within the facility are cutting-edge, lighting design utilizes architecturally integrated and minimal fixtures with innovative energy efficient technologies and
acoustical solutions utilize a combination of acoustical plaster, acoustically reflective and absorptive wood panels, spray applied acoustical materials and mechanical systems.
New facilities housing the Verizon Innovation Center are anticipated to receive LEED Gold Certification.
Nelson’s project partners included construction manager, John P. Moriarty & Associates; structural engineers, McNamara/Salvia, Inc.; mechanical, electrical, plumbing & fire protection engineers, WB Engineering & Consulting, PLLC; acoustical & audio/visual consultants, Cavanaugh Tocci Associates; existing building contractor, Tishman Construction Corporation of Massachusetts; civil engineers, John G.
