Excerpt from ENR New England
The vibe at Shawmut Design and Construction’s newly renovated Boston headquarters is more like a well-funded start-up than a 34-year-old general contracting firm. Indie rock music hums in the lobby/café with its polished concrete floors, exposed brick and a steel-beam sculpture strung from the 20-ft-high ceiling. Employees gather at rustic white oak high-top tables near a billiards table and a 22-ft-long bar featuring a backsplash with race-car red tiles laid in a brick pattern.
