Co r p o r a t e MPA Completes National Development Woburn Office Woburn, MA - Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) recently completed the design and renovation of a Woburn office building for National Development. MPA designed the base building upgrade to the 80,000sf building at 200 Unicorn Park Drive to accommodate medical offices. Additionally, MPA provided interior architecture and healthcare design services for Winchester Hospital Outpatient Center, which occupies half of the facility. National Development selected MPA to first retrofit the existing office building into a patient-focused medical office building. The four-story building received upgrades to the lobby, common, and tenant areas, including new finishes, lighting, and electrical service. New mechanical systems were specifically designed for medical use, and a stretcher-size elevator was installed. The ground floor offers an entrance with sliding doors for easy access, a lobby food kiosk, a lobby concierge station to direct visitors, a central registration area, and an outpatient lab. Once the building upgrade was completed, MPA designed a 38,000sf tenant fit-out for the Winchester Hospital Outpatient Center. MPA was selected to
