• COMPANION ROBOTICS COMPANY • STEELCASE STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION •

NEXT Companion Robotics is a hypothetical company based in the Seaport District, Boston, MA. The Seaport District, also known as the “Innovation Hub,” is a place where American history meets modern industry and technology. It is also a place where locals and visitors go to spend their leisure time. This design concept was inspired by these overlapping natures and how they co-exist in one place.

The design of the space will support the company’s goal of being an inclusive, flexible, and collaborative organization by offering a user-centered, multi-functional, and adaptable space.
