145 Broadway at Kendall Square

The largest cybersecurity company in Massachusetts has consolidated multiple campus locations into a new, 19-story, 453,000sqft headquarters that is bursting with audiovisual technology integrated by McCann Systems.

Opening in late 2019, 145 Broadway at Kendall Square features architectural details that feature high ceilings, natural light, and encourages green transit options. A tech company with such a welcoming experience for the 2,000 employees and visitors required an AV partner that would echo these details in the integration of the unified communication systems, and McCann Systems was the perfect partner. In addition to building, installing, and commissioning the audiovisual systems, McCann Systems offered on-site managed services. The conference room technology and digital signage was designed through a partnership between ACT Associates and the AV team at 145 Broadway, with help from McCann Systems.

Some of the AV and technology highlights of the new building include: 

-Over 100 Conference Rooms

-170 Huddle and Flex Spaces

-300+ Unique AV Installations

-380+ Displays

-25.5 miles of installed Cabling

Manufacturer Partners

Included in the corporate audiovisual install is a custom control system featuring functionality by Cisco and Crestron. Some of the major professional equipment partners in this McCann Systems integration include NEC, Extron, Planar, Chief, Premier Mounts, Lab Gruppen, Leon, Shure, Middle Atlantic, and TSI Touch. As an independent audiovisual technology integrator, McCann can assemble the best manufacturing team tailored to fit a specific type of AV buildout.

Project Highlights

• 145 Broadway at Kendall Square is the largest single audiovisual integration project in McCann Systems' history, both in terms of square footage and total project value. At over $7MM and 25 miles of cabling, the amount of design time, materials, and pure logistics involved in the integration is staggering. McCann Systems worked closely with ACT Associates and the AV Team at 145 Broadway to develop the design, plan the integration, and install the equipment over 18 months.
• The local and national press have touted Cambridge, MA, as a tech powerhouse and the new 19-story building featuring AV integration by McCann Systems is no different. In early November, there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the day 7,500 employees would begin calling the new building their new working environment. The building, design, and interior have won multiple awards, and is earning high marks for sustainability (WELL and LEED).
