Saint-Gobain Celebrates Completion of New MA Administration Building<\/h1>\n 4 December 2025<\/span>\n <\/div>\n

Saint-Gobain is celebrating the completion of construction activities and opening of its new administration building in Worcester, Massachusetts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located on its historic manufacturing campus, where Saint-Gobain\u2019s Norton Abrasives<\/a> business has operated for over a century, the company says this new administration building marks its continued commitment to the Worcester community, where it is a major employer.<\/p>\n

The event featured remarks from Patrick Dwyer, President of Abrasives and Construction Fabrics North America and Abby Marschke, Executive Director of Marketing, Retail and Customer Services for Abrasives North America.<\/p>\n

They were joined by key community partners including Worcester Mayor Joseph Petty, Worcester City Manager Eric Batista, and Timothy P. Murray, President & CEO of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

State-of-the-Art<\/strong> Administration Building <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Developed by Pure Development<\/a> and under the lead of design-build contractor DPR Construction<\/a>, the 47,000 square foot building utilizes over thirty of Saint-Gobain<\/a>\u2019s light and sustainable solutions including CertainTeed<\/a> gypsum wallboard, roofing, insulation and acoustic ceiling systems, Chryso admixtures for concrete, SageGlass electrochromic glass, GCP waterproofing materials, ADFORS drywall tape, and Solar Gard window film.<\/p>\n

These solutions all work together in a systems approach to maximize efficiency, resilience, and comfort. In addition, interior and exterior panels manufactured by offsite construction methods helped reduce build time, by as much as 22 days for exterior installation and 31 days for interior installs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new, state-of-the-art administration building here in Worcester marks Saint-Gobain Norton Abrasives\u2019s next chapter in Worcester, a city we have called home for over a century,\u201d said Patrick Dwyer, President of Saint-Gobain Abrasives and Construction Fabrics North America.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank all of our partners including Pure Development, CSO, DPR Construction, Kimley-Horn, Building Engineering Resources, Inc., Creative Office Resources, and GPLA, Inc. for making this building a reality. It is an iconic new building in Worcester that showcases quality, comfort and beauty of design as well as best practices in sustainable construction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sustainability and People in Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Patrick Cusson, DPR<\/strong> Construction Boston Business Unit Leader, added:<\/strong> \u201cDPR\u2019s partnership with Saint-Gobain on its new Abrasives headquarters brings our shared values of sustainability, innovation, and performance to life. Through prefabrication, we enclosed the building in just nine days\u2014less than half the time of traditional methods\u2014even through a New England winter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a longtime Worcester resident, I\u2019m energized by the investment Saint-Gobain and Pure Development made in the city. Equally meaningful, over 40 percent of our workforce came from the local community \u2013 proof that when teams work together with sustainability and people in mind, great things happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
