JDL Corporate Interiors, Inc. is proud to have delivered the new headquarters for the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) at 699 Boylston Street, overlooking the iconic Boston Marathon finish line. This space was designed to embody the organization’s legacy while providing a modern, functional work environment that fosters collaboration and productivity.
The office layout balances private offices and open workspaces, allowing employees the flexibility to focus individually or work together seamlessly. Sound-mitigating phone rooms provide quiet areas for calls and deep work, enhancing efficiency without disrupting the open office flow. Custom design elements throughout the space reinforce the B.A.A.’s mission, creating an environment that is both inspiring and practical. A standout feature of the headquarters is the custom trophy displays, which highlight the B.A.A.’s storied history and accomplishments, serving as a focal point for employees and visitors. The conference room, with its direct view of the Boston Marathon finish line, establishes a powerful connection between the organization’s work and the event it is known for. The modern kitchen, designed as a central gathering space, features a marathon countdown clock, reinforcing the organization’s purpose and building excitement year-round.
Attention to detail is evident throughout the space, with custom fixtures and branding elements that celebrate the B.A.A.’s identity and longstanding partnerships. Every design choice was made to honor the organization’s legacy while providing a dynamic and engaging workspace. Despite the complexities of constructing in a high-profile, high-traffic location, the project was completed on time and under budget. Through careful planning and execution, JDL Corporate Interiors ensured a smooth construction process, optimizing resources and maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship. The result is a headquarters that not only meets the functional needs of the B.A.A. but also serves as a lasting tribute to its legacy and future.
