Bose Professional has announced the opening of its new global headquarters, museum and experience centre in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, USA.
The opening of the purpose-built, 50,200 ft2 (4,665 m2) facility marks a milestone in the newly independent company’s growth story and was constructed to reflect the company’s vision, values and future.
Designed by OTJ Architecture and built by J. Calnan & Associates Construction with acoustic consulting by Acentech, the building honours the now-independent brand’s past, puts the power and clarity of the company’s present on full-display, and ensures the company’s future leadership with extensive labs, testing facilities and office spaces.
At the heart of Bose Professional’s new headquarters is the company’s corporate museum, a curated space that pays tribute to the products that have defined the legacy of the brand.
Also on-site is an experience centre, a 5,600 sq ft immersive environment built to host training and demos.
The new headquarters feature a full suite of custom-built labs and spaces dedicated to mechanical and electrical engineering, testing, measurement, quality assurance, and fabrication, including the Klippel Lab, an acoustically isolated test chamber specifically designed for detailed acoustic measurement and testing.
