Dacon Completes Redesign of MEC’s Waltham HQ

Design-build firm Dacon Corp. has completed the redesign of MEC’s Waltham headquarters. The project entails the renovation of an existing 19,000-square-foot office building. 

This headquarters’ design style is centered on an accomplished heritage, modern innovation and a collaborative culture. Tones, textures and decorative elements reflect metal, a founding material to its business. Former closed-off, preexisting wall partitions were replaced with glass walled offices and conference rooms emphasizing transparency.  To reinforce a secondary cultural value – community – collaborative areas were built along the reception area and amidst employee offices.

“MEC is an example of how the classic American values of heritage, fair price, stewardship and integrity triumph across America’s turbulent economic times.  It was a pleasure collaborating with them to create an environment that reflects these ideals and gives the firm room to grow into the future,” said Kevin Quinn, CEO at Dacon.
