Caffeination Meets Innovation
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, owner of Keurig Dr Pepper Inc., challenged SMMA to design a “beacon of innovation” to represent their new world headquarters located in Burlington, MA. The corporate campus required an impactful presence: it needed to announce itself as home to an idea-driven company backed by a culture of social responsibility and fair trade, while also establishing a desirable workplace for employees.
The growing beverage-maker conglomerate’s expectations to double its employee count over the next few years presented challenges to real estate developers vying to construct the build-to-suit project. SMMA’s developer client, The Gutierrez Company, found the perfect solution to the problem: a flexible 16-acre site adjacent to Route 128 along the Greater Boston Area’s high-technology corridor.
