Cognex Corporation
Natick, MA
Cognex Corporation’s (Cognex) world headquarters in Natick, Massachusetts totals 260,000 SF across three buildings. These buildings, built in the 1980s, were in need of redesign to meet Cognex’s goal of providing open, light-filled interiors and updated exteriors.
To update the buildings, GRLA developed new designs to meet the company's goal: creating a “Wow!” experience for employees, clients, and visitors. Design constraints were comprised of working with Cognex’s yellow, black, and gray color palette, and no curves and no wood.
Cognex was thrilled with the new look after the first phase of renovations that they retained GRLA to continue to create innovative design solutions to carry this inspiring, bright, and exciting vibe throughout the campus. Updates have included the buildings’ façade, lobby, office space, cafeteria, restrooms, fitness center and locker room, game rooms, and distribution center.
The success of these projects has allowed GRLA to work closely with Cognex to create corporate design standards for their national and international offices.
Chapman Construction/Design completed the upgrades to Cognex Corporations’ world headquarters.
