Five Omni Way - Chelmsford, MA Five Omni Way - Chelmsford, MA

Chelmsford, MA Comcast has selected Maugel Architects to design the 131,000 s/f tenant fit up for Comcast’s regional headquarters, which will be located at Five Omni Way. Maugel had previously designed the façade and lobby improvements at Five Omni Way for building owner Griffith Properties.

The design scope will include a call center, product demo lab, a training facility and classrooms, an executive suite, fitness center and a full service cafeteria. The new design will feature predominately open workspace and shared amenity spaces such as huddle rooms along with exposed ceiling concepts with LED lighting and sleek new finishes.

“We are thrilled to be working with Comcast on this exciting rebranding project for their new regional headquarters at Five Omni Way” said Jodi Emmons, senior interior design at Maugel Archts. “The new workspace will provide a creative and collaborative workspace for the employees and reinforce Comcast’s brand as a leading technology company.”

Maugel created a flexible design that not only meets the needs of Comcast’s current 475 employees, but allows for future growth. The building will also feature an energy management system and full service generator back up.

In addition to Maugel and Comcast, other team members include: property owner Griffith Properties, AHA Engineers and Aberthaw Construction. This fast-paced project is scheduled for completion in January 2016.
