Athenahealth: Urban Planning for the Next Generation

Athenahealth moved to the Arsenal on the Charles in 2005 as one of the many tenants that occupied the historic campus. Ten years on, the health care technology and service company is now on the verge of transforming the 30 acre site into the hub of new era healthcare IT. In a 2013 interview in the Boston Globe, athenahealth’s chief executive Jonathan Bush described his vision for the Arsenal campus;“ ‘I want good chefs, good beer, and entrepreneurs,’ said Bush. ‘Rather than a sealed-off campus, we’re going to open the Arsenal up to the community as a public resource. And we’d like to fit it into the historic context. We want to foment the next industrial revolution by bringing openness into health care.’” As a part of athenahealth’s overall master plan, vacant office space was turned into the high-end Nourish café on the first floor of 311 Arsenal Street.
