Margulies Perruzzi chosen to design Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce’s new office space at 265 Franklin St.

Boston, MA Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA), was selected by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce to design its new office at 265 Franklin St. The Chamber is moving from its current location on Floor 12 of 265 Franklin to Floor 17. While remaining in the same building, the new premises will allow the Chamber to better serve its member companies and create its vision for the future.

 “At the Chamber, our membership is more dynamic, innovative, and focused on the strength of the collective greater Boston business community than ever before,” said James Rooney, president and CEO of the Chamber. “We want our new office space to be reflective of the Chamber’s work today, and of our vision for the future of our organization. Margulies Perruzzi Architects demonstrated their ability to understand that vision, and make our new office space reflective of who we are and how we want to serve our growing membership.”

MPA provided programming and fit-plans for several locations, and assisted the Chamber in the selection of the Floor 17 space. MPA will also design the new offices, which will feature a new conference center, member space, and workspace for The Chamber’s 30 staff. The Chamber hopes to move to its new location by February 2017.
