AMERICAS Going the Extra Mile for Akamai

Akamai is a content delivery network, cybersecurity and cloud service company

headquartered out of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Cushman & Wakefield is helping Akamai drive their wellness strategy through their physical space. Our project scope includes air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind. Formerly occupying space in six different buildings within Cambridge’s Kendall Square, Akamai is moving towards a more consolidated and efficient real estate approach to minimize disruption and missed opportunities while maximizing the employee and client experience. Akamai’s vision for their new headquarters is a singular and integrated campus, connecting all departments and groups seamlessly and thoughtfully. The new 19-story, 480,000 square foot design strategically organizes all collaborative spaces around a sinuous, continuous path throughout the entire building, encouraging both planned encounters and serendipitous interactions. The path, a mile-long experience known as the “AkaMile,” takes visitors along a journey of exploration and education around what services Akamai can offer its customers, as well as how it has become a leader in the tech industry.
