EVENT DESCRIPTION
Creating a New Global Headquarters: Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Decision to Build in Waltham
Thermo Fisher Scientific is the world leader in serving science, enabling customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. It's no coincidence the new Corporate Headquarters achieved LEED Silver, combining an ecologically friendly landscape with an energy efficient envelope and building system.
After outgrowing their Global Headquarters at 81 Wyman Street in Waltham, Thermo Fisher Scientific reached a pivotal point, relocate to Boston, Cambridge, inner city area or find a suitable space in the suburban market. Thermo made the decision to stay in Waltham, not disrupt their employees and develop a new building to accommodate their growth. During the summer of 2016, Thermo relocated to their newly constructed building at 168 Third Avenue in Waltham. The new Headquarters embraces a collaborative environment, featuring a multifuction Learning Center, numerous meeting and breakout spaces and a large outdoor patio area including a putting green.
Thermo's leadership provided three main guidelines to the project team:
• Create an open, collaborative environment
• Keep costs low
• Don't distract the employees
This session will explore some of the key business drivers that lead to the decision to stay in Waltham and build a new Global Headquarters from the ground up.
