MathWorks Expands Employee Recreational Areas with SYNLawn’s Best Artificial Turf and Poured-in-Place

Natick, MA — MathWorks is one of the country’s leading mathematical modeling software companies, and they’re always looking for ways to reward their hard-working employees. When executives decided to expand the outdoor employee recreational areas at their Lakeside and Apple Hill campuses, SYNLawn was the obvious choice for supplying and installing the artificial turf.

Over 8,000 square feet of artificial turf and poured-in-place (PIP) ground coverings were installed by New England Turf Store (aka: SYNLawn New England) between the two locations. MathWorks was looking for sustainable solutions that didn’t require extensive maintenance, expensive watering, or mowing. SYNLawn’s biobased turf was the greenest option available for the project quickly becoming the preferred choice among decision-makers.

Getting Workers Outside for Relaxation and Exercise

Programming the advanced software MathWorks provides for dozens of industries is a mentally demanding task. Workers at both facilities receive relatively few opportunities to stretch or move around during the average workday. To counter the effects of sedentary and computer-based work, the company decided to set up outdoor recreation zones in the existing common areas for relaxation and exercise.

Horseshoes, a custom golf putting green, and ping-pong were ideal for working out stiff wrists and encouraging natural movement without being too energy-intensive for a mid-day game break. SYNLawn’s Classic Putt and USDA Certified SYNAugustine 547 were the perfect synthetic turf products for the horseshoe pitches and putting green. However, the ping-pong table area required a slightly different approach. SYNLawn’s SYNPour™ 100 and 200 provided a soft and comfortable surface for standing, lunging, and jumping without any turf to hide missed balls. The bright colors of the Poured-in-Place material also added a lively look to the recreation area that fit its focus on fun perfectly.

Breaking Ground in the Field of Artificial Intelligence

MathWorks isn’t just breaking ground on cutting-edge employee benefits. They’re also one of the front runners in the development of artificial intelligence. While SYNLawn focuses on artificial turf landscapes rather than the field of artificial intelligence, they’re the perfect partner for environmentally concerned companies like MathWorks. Synthetic turf is an obvious choice for companies tired of rising costs of constant lawn maintenance and the adverse environmental impact those efforts create.
