Sterling Commerce
7th Floor
Cross Point Towers I & II Lowell, Massachusetts
The distribution of 240 employees and 23 Departments over two contiguous
tower floors meant unifying two adjacent elevator lobbies into a single,
cohesive design to act as a signature element for Sterling Commerce.
Design motifs and finishes developed for the lobby were translated into
other employee zones to promote the singular look of the lease space
spread over
50,000SF. A progressive approach to office planning that included hotelling
Sterling Commerce and touchdown stations, bullpen layouts, break-out and training
environments, were all designed to foster an interdependent teaming
culture.
Dynamic design elements included carpet tile patterns zoned by area, de-
construction of corners through glazing, and introducing curved walls &
ceiling features in collaborative teaming areas.
