About Unispace
Introduction
Mr. Steve Fox Fort Point Project Mgmt 308 Congress Street Boston, MA 02210
Dear Mr. Fox, Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your Request for Proposal for Architectural Services for IR+M. We understand that IR+M has executed an LOI for 38,820 RSF for the entire 22nd floor at Winthrop Center with a planned occupancy of November 2023. The prospect of working for a firm with the culture of IR+M is exciting to us! An organization fuelled by inclusivity, collegiality, and collaboration aligns directly with Unispace’s unified approach for our clients. As a multi-disciplined firm that takes a truly holistic approach to workplace projects, these cultural principles align perfectly with our Think Create Make philosophy. This philosopy enables us to work as one team internally and with our clients, and provides an additional layer of cost certainty.
With extensive Boston design and construction experience for high-profile financial services clients, we can create an environment that will act as a true catalyst for the continued success of IR+M. The guarantee of our ‘no surprises’ approach to cost and schedule management will give the Fort Point and IR+M teams confidence the decisions that are made throughout the course of the design will be truly buildable in time with your planned occupancy date. Unispace acknowledges that all information contained in IR+M’s RFP or gained during the Project concerning IR+M and its operations is considered confidential. Again, thank you for including us in this project and we look forward to working with you! If you have any questions as you review our proposal, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Understanding that IR+M’s priorities are community involvement, sustainability, DEI commitment, and a focus on ESG, our process will give you: • World-class, cutting-edge design that aligns the workspace with the cultural, business, and people priorities of IR+M • A more transparent and efficient design process that allows for accelerated decision making • True, current market cost and schedule intelligence that will ensure the workspace you want is built for the budget you can afford

Scope of work
Visioning and programming/space planning
Schematic design
The Unispace methodology means we integrate strategy, design, and delivery team members from the start. Collaborating on these initial activities in the visioning and programming phase ensures we lay the appropriate groundwork and get the necessary information for downstream decisions and processes. Our integrated approach means a fluid exchange of key information throughout the project, better-informed and faster decision making, and optimum performance of your facility on day one.
The Schematic Design phase will review, refine and establish approved strategy and design schemes from the previous phase as outlined below, exploring different options within the space and program based on the established client standards. During this phase we will leverage the Strategy Brief to inform schematic design development, and create spaces that reflect the project goals and objectives.
Kick off Meeting • We will facilitate a kick off session with the IR+M Core Team to generate consensus around the project goals and objectives, review the schedule, identify project milestones, and discuss the protocols to co-create and ideate as a team throughout the project process. • We anticipate this meeting to be one hour and can be done virtually or in-person.
Visioning Session • The visioning session brings together key leaders and a representative cross-section of the IR+M team to turn objectives and needs into ideas and opportunities. We'll kick off the session with alignment around project objectives, then transition into a guided session where participants will ideate on opportunities to turn the objectives into aspects of the built environment. • We anticipate this session to be 2 hours and can be done virtually or in person. We will hold an additional session if required.
We will begin this phase by developing a minimum of three (3) blocking diagrams, followed by space plans with up to three (3) revisions. This includes adjacency studies, workflow connections, circulation/branding/graphics interaction. • Unispace’s Pre-construction team will provide a preliminary budget for each space plan option. This will serve to assist in establishing a target construction sum for the project. • Building due diligence - Unispace will evaluate site existing conditions (including MEP & structure) to enable cost driven decisions throughout entire design project. • Determine high level constructability. • Coordinate site visit with MEP engineers to document existing conditions. • Review as-built conditions and dimensional constraints. • Review ADA/Accessibility, egress and Building Code requirements and document any necessary upgrades required. • Further develop look and feel concept options based off of feedback from Visioning Phase. • Identify key brand touchpoints. • Onboard consultants and provide preliminary design backgrounds as needed.
Leadership Interviews • These Interviews with business leaders will elicit feedback and build a deeper understanding of the specific needs of each department. These sessions allow leaders to be candid about how they see the needs of the business changing and what support their people need to reach their outcomes. We will dig into space program requirements to ensure we are capturing the most up to date information for the future IR+M Workplace. • We anticipate 6 one-on-one or group interview/focus groups. These sessions are anticipated to one hour.
• Development of Schematic Design Package to include the following: º Concept proposal. º Architectural treatments. º Up to (3) preliminary finish options to include: paint, wall coverings, floor finishes, millwork, ceiling types, light fixtures. Up to (1) revision during SD phase, with refinement during DD phase. º (3) greyscale 3-D views
Strategic Brief & Base Space Program
º Product research for architectural materials and finishes.
• The strategic brief is the final deliverable of the engagement and will document key insights and themes developed from our engagement. Out of these insights, we will develop recommendations to drive the optimal space program and design concept.
º Preliminary furniture look + feel approaches.
• The base space program will include space typologies, sharing ratios, appropriate space quantities, and special requirements for the IR+M workplace. This output serves as the starting point for the design team to activate a test fit and initial design concepts.
º Identify key brand touchpoints.
• We anticipate two rounds of revisions on the base space program
º Equipment locations to begin discussions with MEP + all consultants for coodination requirements.
º Refelcted ceiling plan and lighting preliminary design and specifications.
º Technology considerations.
• (3) Schematic Design Presentations during this phase. Final Schematic Design Package for written client sign off. • Coordinate and review basis of Design Narrative provided by the MEP/FP and Structural Engineer • Progress reports documenting what has been reviewed and approved. • Unispace's Pre-construction team to provide updated progressive budgets with identified budget aligned options for IR+M review.

SERVICES Design Delivery
A bright and transparent office that infuses Anchor Capital’s new space with their nautical brand. Anchor Capital Advisors LLC, is a storied investment management company whose passion, performance and commitment to service is centered on tradition and meticulous research. Anchor Capital was looking to relocate from the space they had been in for over 30 years into a new space that reflects their recently refreshed brand and gives their employees more transparency. Unispace was brought on to help them identify a new location and adhere to their strict schedule. We worked closely with senior leadership to understand who they were as an organization as well as understand the message they wanted their space to convey to their employees, clients and the marketplace. By employing the full methodology our Strategy, Design and Delivery teams worked together from the onset to progressively budget. This allowed Anchor Capital to make design decisions early on in the process, avoiding the need to redesign later on. Anchor Capital’s new office introduces glass fronted offices, allowing for more light and transparency throughout and branded graphics that embrace the company’s culture and infuse the brand throughout the space.
"What I especially liked about working with Unispace was that they were there from the earliest days of our project. As we were looking at fitting out new space, before we'd even signed a new lease, they were helping us to envision what different office spaces could look like in different configurations. The Unispace team is a complete, full-service solution for new office buildouts. From the envisioning of the space and how it gets built out, to the finished product, they were there every step of the way." William Rice Jr., CEO Anchor Capital Advisors, LLC.

Amundi’s newly renovated Boston headquarters embraces its global brand. Amundi US asset management is a leading investment manager. Having operations in 36 countries, they were looking to restructure their Americas headquarters in Boston, MA to increase efficiency and collaboration across their teams, while showcasing the transformation of the company to a globally elevated entity. Amundi chose Unispace as a partner for the strategy and design components of their renovation after working with us successfully on their other main US office in Durham, NC. Amundi wanted to reduce their workplace from five floors to four, requiring extensive visioning sessions including department head interviews to understand the different disciplines’ needs, various test fits, and change management services to help the staff adjust to the smaller space. With their work structure, space planning was important to enable seamless collaboration within teams, while creating easy pathways for connecting and socializing the wider groups. Our design team used a bridge concept for design inspiration to symbolize their global reach and local roots. One of the focal points of the space is the reception, representing the new global brand and showcasing the company’s history graphically through different pieces in their art collection. Throughout the four floors, there are a variety of space types including open office workstations, conference rooms, collaboration zones, and phone and huddle rooms, strategically placed to meet the needs of staffs’ work styles. This allows more access to natural light and to views of downtown Boston.

To learn more about the DDJ team, our process began with the strategy team leading engagement sessions with the 15 person DDJ leadership team. Here they discovered who DDJ is as a company and who they’re motivated to be in the future. Our lead strategist and lead designer used this information to turn what they heard into actionable and relatable project drivers. A three-step goal and design process DDJ was very clear with their motives for designing a new space: • Reinvigorated space to strengthen community and brand • Gain efficiencies while improving workflow • Integrate technology to support flexibility Our design team created an optimal user journey and improved sight lines throughout
the space. The design highlighted the curve of the building and elegant atrium, provided community spaces, and future-proofed by creating multi-functional spaces. All work types were considered - providing standard sized office and workstations, and enough huddle spaces for focus areas. And AV was accommodated throughout the entire space.

Overcoming obstacles to deliver DDJ’s vision Soon after our first strategy engagement, the start of Covid lockdown began, creating a new and challenging learning experience for connecting with our clients. As construction started, the Covid interruptions derailed the project for 3 months. But during that time communication was kept open with DDJ, enabling quick remobilization. The delay meant longer lead times, an increase in material pricing, and a shortage in labor, but with our One Team approach, strategy, design, and construction worked together to get the C of O only one week later than originally planned. The Unispace team and DDJ team had a lot of fun working together. And despite the Covid workarounds, a successful project was delivered to a happy client.

Signature technology experiences at the Executive Briefing Center had to be innovative, end-to-end, inspirational, and seamless. Beyond the innovative signature technology experiences, the meeting room experience was deeply considered from an innovation perspective. For virtual collaboration capabilities, BlueScape is extensively used throughout the space and by remote attendees. This enables us to have a virtual collaboration platform which can be accessed via touch screens installed in the EBC as well as from mobile devices (PCs/Mobile) in other locations. Another key innovation initiative is our approach to the end to end content experience. A custom web app, accessible via laptop or mobile, is our first connection to the visit. An innovative approach to content organization allows us to organize products and topics into conversations. These conversations can be saved to the CMS and will evolve over time.

They partnered with Unispace to give them a fresh perspective and restack 18 floors of their global headquarters. Instead of having departments located on one floor, our team worked with the client to co-locate multiple groups that worked together and create a workspace that cultivates cross-departmental collaboration.
INDUSTRY
All groups were evaluated individually so that their workspace aligns with how they work. For example, the 16th floor is completely open office while other floors feature a hybrid floorplan with open workspace and enclosed offices. The project features a full-service cafeteria and coffee shop that are easily accessible to the new state-of-theart 400-person tiered auditorium.
