NATICK

Wings around a spiral stair

MathWorks expanded its headquarters with a new campus to keep up with growth. Gensler, which had also renovated the Apple Hill campus, handled the development strategy, master plan, architecture and interiors for the 550,000-square-foot complex. Comfortably scaled workplace wings are organized around a central hub and a sky-lit spiral stair, with a dining hall, a grab-and-go café and an outdoor terrace, and spaces planned for daylight and views. The Apple Hill and Lakeside campuses are about two miles apart, joined by a bike path.
