Diversified Project Management, Inc. (DPM) has completed the construction administration of Acme Packet's new 123,000 s/f, flagship headquarters and the company's relocation into the new facility. Acme Packet relocated from its 75,000 s/f campus in Burlington to 100 Crosby Dr. The new space showcases a three-story atrium with an LED lit glass feature wall and a ground level café, as well as unique Acme Packet brand expressions in common areas such as the reception area, pantries and conference rooms. DPM provided full project management services, including lease review, property due diligence, construction administration, FF&E coordination and move planning. DPM was retained early on and worked directly with Acme Packet to manage an aggressive schedule for the full integration of technology. In addition, DPM worked with the design/build team which included Chapman Construction, Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, Dyer Brown Architects, RDK Engineers and WB Engineers. "With [DPM's] professional expertise, devotion and perseverance, we successfully designed, built and moved into our new Acme Packet facility," said Steve Voto, Acme Packet's director of information technology.
