Spectrum Integrated Technologies completes security renovation and modernization project at International Place

Boston, MA Spectrum Integrated Technologies (Spectrum IT), the low-voltage technology division of J&M Brown Company, has reached substantial completion of the multifaceted security renovation and modernization project at International Place.

The project scope entailed Spectrum IT’s comprehensive lobby security system enhancements, including the installation of Orion Entrance Control Turnstiles, integration of state-of-the-art Elevator Destination Dispatch technology, and installation of HANWA Vision security cameras. Spectrum’s installation of an advanced Lenel/OnGuard Security Management System as well as a Milestone Video Management System are integral aspects of the project.

The project required updating the entire lobby security system infrastructure of the mixed-use high-rise office tower, including all cabling and the IT network backbone.

Terry Kilduff, Spectrum IT’s manager of security operations and foreman Eddie Amaro headed the project team, supervising the NECA Boston Chapter contractor’s crew of skilled IBEW Local 103 technicians. The fast-track project commenced in May 2024.

Spectrum IT is serving on a project team headed by general contractor, Columbia Construction of North Reading, MA. The project security consultant is ADRM, based in Woburn, MA. The Chiofaro Company is the owner of International Place.

“Spectrum IT is proud to have been called upon to provide security system renovations at International Place,” said Kilduff. “The key to meeting the advanced lobby security system requirements, and the project timeline, is the close coordination between Spectrum and our security vendors, and the collaborative effort among all project team members, headed by general contractor Columbia Construction,” said Kilduff.

Under separate contract, J&M Brown is providing electrical construction services for the lobby renovation project at One International Place.

International Place, comprised of One International Place (46 stories) and the adjoining Two International Place (35 stories), are Boston’s Financial District’s tallest and largest office towers, located along the Rose Kennedy Greenway at the intersection of the historic Financial District and Boston’s Seaport. The project is part of a $100 million renovation to the lobbies and entrances of both One and Two International Place.
