Margulies & Associates of Boston will design the facility. Project architect Colin Smith says the new interior will mirror the company's open, high-tech philosophy with a "dynamic, collaborative environment." Workstations will be flexible and visible from the broadcast studio, while glass-enclosed conference rooms will be angled throughout the building to provide quiet space.

Another feature will be the 2,600-sf Network Operations Center, whose glass façade will allow visitors to view the NOC upon entering the reception area. There will also be a state-of-the-art executive briefing center and bistro-style dining room.
