Siemens
Norwood, MA, United States
Moving Siemens into 100,000 square feet of technically complex laboratory and office space in less than one year was a daunting challenge. More daunting still were the enormous financial penalties Siemens would face if it failed to vacate its former space on time.
The design/build team of Margulies Perruzzi Architects and Columbia Construction recognized that a traditional design development process would simply take too long. Using laptop computers and projectors, the designers facilitated real-time exchanges with end users, executives and construction professionals to develop customized plans to accomplish Siemens’ program, budget and schedule requirements.
From project inception to move in, the facility was completed in eight months.
Dan Madru, project manager for MPA, recalls: “Being asked to design a project for Siemens, then known as Ciba-Corning, was very gratifying. We knew they were counting on us to provide a high level of creativity, responsiveness and technical leadership. We were determined to fulfill those expectations and to share the benefits of the computer-aided design methodologies we had been customizing since we last worked with this client.
Our interactive design process, allowing the project team to contribute to the design as it develops, was a critical element in delivering a customized facility on a fast-track schedule. This approach alone reduced the project schedule by at least six months. Above all, we really appreciated the opportunity to work side by side with the construction manager and the end user to come up with a solution translating Siemens’ requirements to a functional and flexible design.”
