Vantage Builders completes office renovations for Boston Properties, Inc. at the Quorum Office Park

Vantage Builders, Inc., a general contracting and construction firm, has completed a 16,000 s/f office renovation project for Boston Properties, Inc. at the Quorum Office Park, 271 Mill Rd. Boston Properties hired Vantage to construct new office space after leasing part of the building's third floor to AMEC, an international engineering and project management company. Built in 2001, the space was in very good condition; however, it was not configured properly for the incoming tenant. AMEC, which was moving from Westford, requested a certain layout of the offices and cubicle space, to ensure an efficient work environment. "Working within newer construction, like Quorum Office Park, certainly has advantages," said Mike Thayer, senior project manager, Vantage Builders. "We were able to create the office space that AMEC envisioned and make sure their employees were able to hit the ground running immediately after the move." Following designs by architects Perkins+Will, Vantage constructed 30 new offices and the facilities to support 60 cubicles, as well as four conference rooms and other supporting rooms. The work required significant internal demolition, including the removal of existing walls, as well as the relocation of electrical systems to accommodate AMEC's employees and equipment. New finishes for the location included wall paint and new carpeting throughout the office.
