Vantage Builders completes 2,500 s/f build-out for Breakout Games
Woburn, MA Vantage Builders, Inc. has completed the build-out of the first New England location of Breakout Games, a leading provider of “escape room” entertainment, at 100 TradeCenter.
At the new location, Breakout Games offers four scenarios: the kidnapping, museum heist, operation: casino and hostage. All take place within the 2,500 s/f area renovated by Vantage Builders, following plans by architects Form + Place.
“The Vantage Builders team was great to work with,” said Brad Greenman, operation expansion team leader, Breakout Games. “We assigned them a fairly aggressive deadline, because we were intent on opening on schedule. And even with a number of design changes throughout the process, they were able to deliver on time.”
The Breakout Games project included work in the lobby and each scenario room. The layout required interior demolition of the existing space, which was previously used for corporate offices.
100 TradeCenter, which is located at 100 Sylvan Road, is owned by Cummings Properties.
