Cambridge Mobile Telematics Headquarters in Cambridge, MA

Cambridge Mobile Telematics Headquarters

Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) develops AI-driven technologies that improve road user safety around the world. The fast-growing company’s new Kendall Square headquarters in Cambridge, MA fosters an innovative, engaging work culture while showcasing its discoveries around safe driving protocols.

A short walk from their founders’ educational roots at MIT, the new workplace celebrates CMT’s mission while sharpening its brand identity. The design seeks to inspire employees, clients, and visitors in an era of technological upheaval as the company strives to solve ever-greater challenges in roadway safety.

As an engineering company, CMT sought the most functional space possible.

The new HQ has two circulation paths: a scenic primary path with 12th floor views connecting a mix of collaborative work areas, and a secondary path for efficient flow through staff offices.

The design tells the story of CMT’s origins and innovative technology.

Ceiling-hung maps depict neighborhoods around MIT and Kendall Square.

Enlarged patents and data-inspired visuals of cars and roads remind employees of their mission.

The lively work café features flexible seating and mosaic art comprised of thousands of CMT “tracking tags”.

The energy-efficient design saves on operation costs.

The design reduces energy consumption through an Active Chilled Beam (ACB) system that uses natural convection to cool the space. This water-based system is more efficient than traditional air conditioning, resulting in lower installation and operation costs for CMT.
