John Quincy Adams Building
Myles Standish Industrial Park, Taunton, Massachusetts
The handsome 96,000 sq. ft. structure is now under construction in the Myles Standish Industrial Park, Taunton. It is the second office building in the 437-acre Park, which contains 27 R&D and industrial facilities. Innovative design skillfully links an existing 48,000 sq. ft. office/warehouse facility formerly occupied by a single tenant to a new 48,000 sq. ft. three-level first-class office structure. The new addition is of red brick and concrete block with oversized ribbon windows of green tinted solar glass. The corner space on the top level features floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides to take full advantage of the woodland surroundings. Both entrances to the building will be distinguished by the columned porticos with peaked roofs leading into the arcade-type lobby. Architectural highlights of the new addition include a gracious lobby featuring patterned granite floors pavers with a corresponding tiled ceiling and a dramatic two-level atrium with a balcony with glass and oak-trimmed railings. The office space is virtually column free and suitable for single or multiple tenant occupancy.
