MADGI completes Times Square headquarters for CBC Alliance

The design is bright, clean, and contemporary, and incorporates durable and easy-to-maintain finishes. The program includes a main lobby/reception area adjacent to the main conference room, several smaller meeting rooms, private offices, several open plan office areas, and a pantry. The biggest challenge for the design and construction team was CBC Alliance’s acquisition of a new business – just after design drawings had been completed. MADGI had to reconfigure the drawings to accommodate the additional employees in the open plan areas. “The team did this without compromising the open feel of the space or impinging on the private offices, by reconfiguring the reception and conference room to accommodate more workstations. In the end, all open plan workspaces have access to windows and natural light,” explained MADGI project manager Sarah Bigos.
The main conference room features a floating acoustical ceiling with large-scale Armstrong tile that reduces the visible grid pattern and creates a cleaner aesthetic, all while improving acoustics. Millwork panels in walnut were added.
