The SGA redesign split the boxy building in two, replacing the concrete walls with glass, adding depth to the façade with a mix of materials, and created a light-filled atrium lobby with café and lounge.
Located in the emerging downtown district of Watertown, the design establishes a bold and highly innovative work environment.

The façade, coined “fun industrial,” features hanging screens, custom still frames in mesh, vertical fins, corrugated metal, and a color-changing material called Alucobond Spectra.

Exterior courtyards and a dramatic multi-story atrium provide a rich setting for collaboration. The bold and innovative design offers highly flexible and efficient research space in concert with a unique array of on-site amenities including a bike room, manicured patios, courtyards, and Bocce courts.
