Blue Sky Center

Developers Nordblom had long attracted a stream of companies to Blue Sky Center, a multi-tenant corporate campus located in Burlington, MA. But with workplace patterns permanently altered by the pandemic, the space’s traditional concourse had become obsolete—and new tenants harder to come by.  

The new, reimagined Center reflects the reality of workplace today: one that prizes workers’ wellbeing above all. The renovated campus provides a constellation of experiences, with amenities and shared spaces that enhance collaboration, promote mindfulness, and provide a touch of hospitality for every worker. 

“Workplace amenities used to be a box-checking exercise, but with office workers now having the power of choice as to how and where they spend their time, we need to be hyper-focused on the employee experience. People want a unique work environment that elevates their productivity and enhances their wellbeing.” 

Crosby Nordblom, Senior VP at Nordblom Company

The “Back-to-Office” Push Is Over—But Workplace Design Is More Important Than Ever

Like a college campus, Blue Sky fosters a single community from a disparate group of individuals.

Common areas, from lounges and coffee bars to shared outdoor spaces, serve as catalysts for cross-company interactions.

Workplace meals become social events, with spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas that provide a stage for casual get-togethers. 

Shared spaces accommodate both work and leisure.

Casual conference rooms transform into ping-pong and cornhole areas, and a tucked-away speakeasy offers an intimate spot for private work or small gatherings. 

The design takes employee physical and mental wellbeing seriously.

New spaces include a fitness center with sign-up group classes. Mindfulness rooms with soft lighting and soothing soundscapes allow workers to unwind alone or enjoy massages, manicures, and guided meditations.
