Pioneer Investments chooses Margulies Perruzzi to design office renovations

Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) has been selected to provide space planning and interior design services for 100,000 s/f on 5-floors of office space for Pioneer Investments. MPA will substantially update the office design and additional support space. These renovations are part of Pioneer's recent lease renewal at 60 State St. The project scope includes redesigned workspaces, conference rooms, lobbies, reception areas, finishes, furniture, and lighting. A major reconfiguration of Pioneer's IT/mission critical spaces is planned. A conference center featuring a suite of conference rooms with a large breakout area will also be added. In order to allow Pioneer's operations to continue during construction, MPA will phase the renovation schedule and utilize available swing space. A client of MPA's for over ten years, Pioneer hired MPA to design its offices when it originally expanded beyond the 60 State Street building in 2000, and has since worked with MPA on numerous renovations within 60 State. Renovations for this project are expected to be completed by March 2012.
