  • Enhanced ergonomic support at workstations which include stand-up desks and fitted chairs
  • Centralized trash, shredding, composting and recycling

“State Street is a leader in employment and sustainable corporate practices globally,” said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “I am pleased that State Street has maintained its commitment to its headquarters in Boston, and has made a significant investment in the construction of a state of the art building on the growing South Boston Waterfront."

The Channel Center building has capacity for more than 3,500 employees to support State Street’s mobile and flexible workforce. Ten percent of the Channel Center consists of unassigned workspaces with video and audio conferencing capabilities to encourage communication and idea sharing with virtual teams. The building is leased by State Street and was planned for in advance of the expiration of leases in four buildings in downtown Boston in 2014.
