About this Project

Margulies Perruzzi completed renovations to create an Innovation & Conference Center for Boston Scientific Corporation, a global medical technology leader. The centralized training center creates a 20,000 SF area featuring state-of-the-art technology and interactive learning spaces to enable doctors and company employees to receive hands-on training and education about the company’s innovative devices.

MP converted existing office space into this multi-purpose training and conference center, including procedure rooms for simulated surgeries, large conference rooms with movable walls, an auditorium / theater, and amenity spaces. The center is designed to enhance the learning experience and create a stimulating atmosphere conducive to creativity and knowledge exchange.  In addition to lead-lined walls due to the use of lasers, the procedure rooms have high-end audio visual equipment and cameras on pivot beams in each room so mock procedures can be filmed and broadcast for educational purposes.

The design of the space features the company’s branding. MP worked closely with a flooring vendor to create a custom designed carpet tile featuring strong blue and gray hues. Lighting was also a key component in the design. The light fixtures selected for certain spaces are low-profile and installed close to the ceiling, providing clear height in the rooms. This allowed MP to design unique layouts and designs to support the use of each space.
