Mass Insight Global Partnerships selects Margulies Perruzzi Architects for new office design

Margulies Perruzzi Architects has been selected to assist with interior design services for Mass Insight Global Partnerships, a consulting and research firm that builds strategic pre-competitive alliances between higher education, industry and government. The firm and its non-profit affiliate Mass Insight Education are moving to a new 10,000 s/f office suite at 18 Tremont St., a building where they both currently reside. Fusion Design Consultants LLC is the architect of record for the project, responsible for construction documentation. The landlord for the building is BPG Properties, Ltd. Mass Insight had outgrown its previous space and sought a more efficient and organized layout in the U-shaped building. With a mix of offices, workstations and meeting spaces, Margulies was retained by the tenant to ensure adherence to their strongly established brand. By doing so, the interior palette features light neutral colors with high contrast color accents. In addition, Margulies Perruzzi Architects advised upon the open, light-filled design and provided input for efficient workspaces and better storage for Mass Insight's 40 employees. "It was important to us that our new space reflect our mission as an organization, while providing a comfortable space for our clients, partners, sponsors, and staff," said Bill Guenther, president of Mass Insight. "Margulies Perruzzi Architects understood our business model and helped us set forth a confident and polished design that fosters communication. We look forward to moving into our new space." Founded in 1989, Mass Insight Global Partnerships creates competitive advantage through public policy and partnerships of industry, universities, and government. Mass Insight Education is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1997 to transform public schools into high performance organizations and close the achievement gaps.
