National Dev. selects Maugel for NEEP upgrades

Maugel Architects has been selected by National Development to design façade improvements and common area transformations for five buildings at New England Executive Park. Maugel's conceptual designs aligned well with National Development's vision of creating a vibrant, cohesive pedestrian environment which will integrate new retail uses into the campus. Maugel brought the vision to life with conceptual illustrations generated in just a few weeks. Andrew Gallinaro of National Development is managing the repositioning of the park. Andrew and his team of Allan Luciw and David Costello have a clear vision for the new look and feel of the campus which will feature new restaurants and amenities. Maugel's work will include new entries and lobby renovations at five buildings and a complete renovation of the popular Rebecca's Café. The expanded café will serve as the center piece of outdoor activities. The redesigned outdoor amenities will feature a new dining plaza and a formal park organized around pedestrian paths. "We want the experience of the people employed at New England Executive Park to be second to none with an active vibe fueled by the exciting new restaurants, amenities and services, and upgraded building common areas," said Brent Maugel, president of Maugel Architects. "We are very excited to be teaming with National Development on these transformative renovations." The project team expects the major work to begin this spring and to be completed by the fall. Celebrating over twenty years of design excellence, Maugel Architects has been providing commercial architectural, space planning, and interior design services to Boston area clients since 1993. To date, Maugel has designed over twenty million square feet of commercial real estate representing nearly $3 billion in construction throughout New England.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark.
