The vibe at Shawmut Design and Construction’s newly renovated Boston headquarters is more like a well-funded start-up than a 34-year-old general contracting firm.
Originally constructed in the 1960s, the facility underwent an extensive upgrade to comply with Connecticut’s stringent new statewide nitrogen removal requirements, which are designed to improve water quality in the Long Island Sound.
Prior to its renovation, the 100,000-sq-ft concrete structure’s repetitive open floor plates were designed to maximize efficiency, holding books first and hosting people second.
