Integrated Builders completes 22,000 s/f fit up for Avery Dennison

Integrated Builders constructed a 22,000 s/f build out for California-based label and packaging manufacturer Avery Dennison at the Westborough Office Park. The original office was completely gutted and is now home to the company's Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS) division. The new space, designed by IA Interior Architects includes enhanced lighting and a new lobby that incorporates large amounts of open space to encourage employee interaction and collaboration. The modernized office outfitted with high-end designs represents growth for the RBIS division that employs 20,000 people, 100 of which are in Mass. The new space will comfortably accommodate 100 employees and includes space for a training wing and café space. The circular lobby represents the new global reach for Avery Dennison that has operations in over 50 countries with over 30,000 employees. New conference rooms have innovative audiovisual equipment to support both local and global operations. Work on the fast track project began before Memorial Day and was completed by the end of July. Neil J. Hurley and Timothy Betjemann of Colliers International Development and Consulting Services oversaw the project for Avery Dennison. Integrated Builders collaborated with subcontractors Tech Mechanical Systems and S. Donnelly Electric. "Integrated Builders was brought in early to help facilitate budgeting and influence the design detailing process," said Paul Comeau, project director of IA Interior Architects. "The Integrated Builders team always kept the client's best interest in mind when making decisions that affected the budget and schedule throughout a very intense construction schedule." "Our team enjoyed working with IA Interior Architects," said Jay Dacey, president of Integrated Builders. "Working closely with the architect from the beginning allows projects to meet both client design needs as well as budget expectations."
