The Kraft Group Building
The Kraft Group Building delivers four stories of office and training facilities for entities across the Kraft Group.
Designed to work with the original architecture of Gillette Stadium and the existing flow throughout Patriot Place, this 120,000-square-foot facility is a natural extension of the fans-first approach synonymous with The Kraft Group.
Tasked with breaking ground and bringing the structure online in the six months, this ultra-speed-to-market project required vigilant planning and foresight from its inception.
To achieve this, the SGA Dashboard was implemented to drive the design and coordination process. This proprietary tool empowered the entire project team to make decisions in real-time when faced with constantly shifting construction challenges such as supply chain constraints, timelines, and project changes. It also helped the project team evolve the overall design correspondence of the project and track decision-making in one place. As a result, the team proactively and collaboratively addressed issues before they arose, removing them from the jobsite.
For example, structural steel and MEP equipment were ordered early-on to account for anticipated supply chain issues due to the pandemic. Additionally, during the design process The Kraft Group expressed interest in expanding the project to six stories. While the significant change at this stage would not have been able to be fully executed in the tight time frame, the idea was modified. SGA and its consultants revised the building’s foundation and structure to more easily accommodate future vertical expansion.
Within, SGA delivered office space for The Kraft Group (TKG) and International Forest Products (IFP), as well as virtual training rooms for other entities. Interior design focuses on the unique nature of each business’s operations and brand identity. The design and program promotes a people-first approach to work by prioritizing opportunities for collaboration balanced by high-privacy focus space.
An architectural touchdown for integrated project design and delivery, The Kraft Group Building provides these organizations with productivity-enhancing solutions for the present and scalable opportunity for the future.
