Boston – PTC’s new global headquarters at 121 Seaport in Boston’s Seaport District has been recognized as a Gold-level winner of the Building Design + Construction (BD+C) Magazine 2019 Building Team Awards. 

The collaborative project team, led by the Boston office of Cresa, Margulies Perruzzi and Gilbane Building Company, completed the interior fit-out of the new 250,000sf global headquarters for PTC, a global provider of technology that transforms how companies design, manufacture, operate, and service things in a smart connected world.

The new technology-rich headquarters is a key part of the company’s business transformation, enhancing its profile and serving as a premier destination for employees, customers, and partners to experience PTC’s technology.

At the heart of the new transformational headquarters is the Corporate Experience Center (CXC), an interactive showcase for the firm’s innovative technology.

The project team includes Margulies Perruzzi, architectural and interior design; Gilbane Building Company, construction manager; Cresa, owner’s project manager, site selection, lease negotiation, transaction management, and workplace strategy; BALA consulting engineers, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, IT, and security design; McNamara · Salvia, structural design; Sladen Feinstein Integrated Lighting, lighting design; and Communications Design Associates, Inc. (CDA), audiovisual system design.

The annual BD+C Building Team Awards recognize newly built projects that best exemplify the collaboration between owner, architect, engineer, and contractor to produce buildings that exhibit architectural and construction excellence. Submissions are judged based on the quality and excellence of the design, engineering, and construction as well as how the full project team and client worked together to overcome challenges that resulted in the success of the project. PTC’s global headquarters was one of only five Gold winners, and one of 14 projects, to be honored with a Building Team Award this year. Winners were featured in the June issue of BD+C.
