Dacon and Evoqua Water collaborate on 14,000 s/f headquarters project

Tewksbury, MA Dacon Corp. has commenced construction on a 14,000 s/f headquarters renovation project for Evoqua Water Technologies. As a leader in identifying water concerns, Evoqua’s technological solutions aim at giving power and purpose to nature’s most important resource by keeping water safe, reliable and available. Their products and services span wastewater treatment, disinfection systems, electrochemical products, filtration systems and digital water management solutions. Their portfolio of 16 brands services industrial, municipal and recreational customers.

The basis for this project is the reconfiguration of existing office and lab space to facilitate productivity, research and welcome employees back to post-COVID office life. A complete interior renovation of ceilings, MEP systems and interior finishes with branded elements will surround open collaboration areas for 100 employees. The new configuration is built upon a hoteling concept enabling employees greater flexibility and creativity within their work lives. Additionally, two new labs are configured to accommodate the relocation of technologists and research development. The project is anticipated to be completed in September. Kevin Quinn, Dacon’s CEO, said, “Purified water enhances the quality of life for all. With current environmental concerns, we cannot take this for granted. Evoqua’s mission is a compelling one.”
