Spaceworks Architectural Interiors (SpaceworksAI) completed a new installation, encompassing 242 linear feet of glass office fronts at Progress Software Corp.'s worldwide and North American headquarters.
According to Mike Skiotis, director of facilities for Progress, "We have been exploring different approaches to getting more natural light into our office interiors. This was the first time that we had considered the option of applying full glass fronts to private offices, and we were concerned about aesthetics and acoustical privacy."
To meet Progress's needs for sound reduction, SpaceworksAI proposed Infinium aluminum-framed office fronts with double glass panels and full-height maple doors. This system achieves a Sound Transmission Classification (STC) rating of 42, compared to an estimated STC of 38 for standard 4" thick drywall construction. Additionally, the product has a clean, modern profile to complement the clean look of the software company's new offices.
SpaceworksAI delivered and installed the 23 glass office fronts in under ten days, working in tandem with other trades on site. Since the Infinium fronts are pre-made and require no building on site, installation was clean and efficient.
The project general contractor was Shawmut Design & Construction.
