Suffolk Adds Innovation and AI Center at Boston Headquarters Campus

Construction management firm Suffolk has unveiled 100MAG, a new facility at its headquarters campus that will serve as the center of the company’s innovation ecosystem and the capstone of its long-term investment in data, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, quantum and other emerging technologies. The Boston-based company said the new center connects how it plans, designs, sources and builds with how it identifies, tests, refines and scales new solutions.

“Construction is at a crossroads,” said John Fish, chairman and CEO of Suffolk. “Today, the cost to build a building is higher than the value of a finished building. As an industry, we must become more efficient and productive. 100MAG is the nerve center and heart of Suffolk’s innovation ecosystem, and where our responses to industry challenges come together under one roof.”

100MAG brings together teams and capabilities that span the entire building lifecycle, connecting project planning, design, materials sourcing, self-perform construction, building management, and technology investments and partnerships. It’s also the research and development center of Suffolk’s innovation ecosystem, the company said.
