Education First

Cambridge, MA

Education First is a $125 million, mixed-use, 10-story building for 400 new employees developed on state-owned land. This new corporate campus required not only special legislation for the land sale, but also permission to simultaneously complete Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) and Chapter 91 permitting. Education First needed an orchestrated approach to secure permit approvals. Our team moved quickly and secured permits from the City of Cambridge, Department of Conservation and Recreation, Massachusetts Office of Environmental Affairs, and MassDOT. As a result, we saved months of permitting time which freed our client to focus on other priorities—​such as preparing new employees for a bright, successful future with Education First.​
