Genzyme Corporation, one of the world’s foremost
biotechnology companies, is dedicated to
improving the lives of patients suffering from
difficult diseases. Relying on a core set of
values – innovation, transparency, collaboration
and the entrepreneurial spirit – Genzyme has
grown since 1981 from a small start-up to a
global company with more than 10,000 employees
in locations spanning the globe.
In 2000, as the company approached its 20th
anniversary, Genzyme decided that the time was
right to build a new corporate headquarters. The
company needed a new hub for its increasingly
global workforce, and it wanted a signature
building that would stand as a reflection of its
core values and a symbol of its established
position. Three years later, the company opened
the doors to Genzyme Center. |

Designed by the award-winning German
architectural firm Behnisch, Behnisch and
Partner, Genzyme Center is a twelve-story,
350,000 square foot office building that
combines innovative design and cutting-edge
technology to create an exciting, healthy and
productive workplace for more than 900 Genzyme
employees. With a striking all-glass exterior
and a soaring internal atrium, the building is
the anchor of an urban revitalization project in
the Kendall Square neighborhood of Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and is one of the most
environmentally responsible office buildings
ever built in the United States. |
