Breaking Ground on EF's New North American HQ Facility

On September 25, 2012, EF Education First, the world's leading provider of academic, travel and language services, broke ground on a new, 300,000-square-foot facility to serve as its expanded North American headquarters. The 55,000-square-foot development parcel is prominently located in the North Point area of Cambridge, next to EF's existing, 250,000-square-foot building, beneath the Leonard P. Zakim Bridge, and adjacent to North Point Park and the Charles River. Governor Deval Patrick, renowned Swedish Architect Gert Wingårdh and Skanska USA Executive Vice President and General Manager Paul Hewins joined EF Education First Founder Bertil Hult, EF North America CEO Alex Hult, EF President of Go Ahead Tours Eddie Hult and other members of the company's founding family to celebrate the milestone, which will result in the creation of 400 jobs during the next 18-months, as well as several hundred temporary construction jobs. To thank EF employees and the community and public sector officials who helped make the building project a reality, company leaders hosted a unique groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the start of construction. The event featured a variety of interesting elements including catering by prominent Boston and Cambridge food trucks, a performance by the Billboard 100 band Passion Pit, "Post Card" photo booths which allowed attendees to socialize photos of themselves in front of a building rendering or global landmarks, and a video montage of prominent public officials reflecting on EF's major expansion project.
