As part of Northeastern University’s cooperative education program, I began interning for Cimpress and will be returning to classes in the spring. During my time with the company, I am happy to have experienced the transition to a beautifully designed and environmentally friendly work place in Waltham, Massachusetts.

On Friday October 2nd, Cimpress invited team members and their families to join in the Cimpress Open House celebrating the new building with food and festivities. Families enjoyed tours of the space with kids running to see where Mom’s new office was and Cimpress team members excited to meet a colleague’s new addition to the family.

On the main floor, the Waltham team and visitors delighted in the bounty of treats spread out banquet-style in the lobby and cafeteria. There was a sense of energy and enthusiasm among everyone, with families greeting each other, rambunctious kids and a DJ pumping music through the room.

Visitors had the chance to take in some of the exciting features in the new office that their loved ones walk by each day. Some of these features include digital signage throughout the building and in the lobby, large panels featuring vibrant graphics and life-size installations of the Cimpress logo. Families were also able to see products offered by Cimpress brands such as customized water bottles and t-shirts (Vistaprint) and wall graphics and banners (Pixartprinting).

Event attendees also enjoyed sharing pictures of the event via Cimpress’ new twitter handle @Cimpress, captioning pictures, “fun for everyone at the open house!” and “love this company!” You can see a few of them here.

We’ve opened a small, agile office in the heart of downtown Detroit where our SHE-Q (Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality), Supply Chain Engineering, and the Corporate Technology Logistics team will work.

The 210m² office, located on the 18th floor of the historic Penobscot Building, looks across the Detroit River to Canada and is a short, 30 minute car ride to Cimpress’ largest manufacturing facility in Windsor. This new space allows for co-location of global resources and enables us to locate engineering and technical expertise near our production sites.

“The rebirth of Detroit is centered on the renewal of entrepreneurship so this location provides great opportunity for us,” says Holger Arnold, Sr. Dir, Safety, Health, Environment, & Quality. “Some of the things we are doing are cutting edge and being in Detroit allows us to tap into technical people who can help us grow.”

We are excited to tap into the deep engineering and technical talent the region has to offer: Southeast Michigan has a university-level student population of nearly 200,000 and one of the largest concentrations of engineers in the country.

Stay tuned to learn more about our open positions.

Here are just a few of the reasons the new Cimpress space is so exciting:

More Space
The new building at 275 Wyman is far roomier. The best way to get a sense for the size difference between the new 302,000 square foot, LEED Gold certified building and our previous site in Lexington? Just take a look at the numbers:

But it’s not just the expansion of space. The new five-story building is equipped with amenities worth celebrating, including…

Collaborative Space…and A Library

Thanks to our real estate team’s vision and attention to employee input, the new building is constructed in a way to encourage collaboration. Open offices allow for effective interactions between colleagues, while the library, a brand-new feature, is fully equipped to provide a silent working environment or simple place to take a break during the work day.

Mothering Rooms

The new building offers more than quadruple the amount of space for new mothers. The space includes two mothering rooms, each with three private booths that will help support the working mothers here at Cimpress.

Better Spaces for Eating & Gathering

Every kitchenette is a multi-functional space that welcomes informal meetings or individual work. While the weather is still cooperating, team members are eager to use the new cafeteria & plaza, which offers outside dining options.

An Improved Fitness Center

The new fitness center is much larger, with fitness and cardio equipment as well as a multipurpose studio that will be used for spinning, yoga and more.
