Moving to the 10th… Voxeo’s new Corporate Headquarters
You may have seen the blog entry a few weeks ago with the video of Rob Patton’s WiFi Quadricopter flying in Voxeo’s new office space. I thought it was a good time to tell you a little more about this new office.
I’m sure you know how Voxeo has grown over the last few years. What you may or may not know is that we’re outgrowing our headquarters space in Orlando. We currently occupy the entire 20th floor of the south tower of The Plaza…downtown Orlando’s finest office and entertainment complex. The Plaza has two office towers, a residential tower, first floor retail/restaurants, a 12 screen movie theater and a parking deck.
Over the next few months we will be moving down to the 10th floor, the only floor that spans both office towers, as well as across the top of the parking deck…about 60,000 square feet. The new space will continue with our open office theme, but will crank things up a few notches.
As you exit the main elevators, you will walk directly into our new Town Square. This large gathering area (over 4,000 square feet) will be like our own in-house Starbucks, complete with our full-time barista! It will be a place to work in a more relaxed atmosphere or to casually meet with a few others. From the Town Square, there will be restricted access into our main office area. In addition to our doorsks (desks which we make by mounting legs onto heavy doors), our main office area will include a large boardroom which overlooks the new Amway Center, several meeting & training rooms, a dozen small rooms for privacy and phone calls when needed, and two theaters for presentations (and Xbox and movies in the off time). The theaters will each have 16 seats, with a folding wall between them that can be opened for larger groups when needed.
As of last week, we’ve passed our rough-in electrical and plumbing inspections, and a large portion of our framing inspection. Drywall is starting to go up this week and close in the walls (of which there aren’t many). We started construction just three weeks ago, and the goal is to be moving in at the end of March. We’ve made great progress quickly and should continue to do so week-by-week.
Here’s a link to a few photos we shot recently. We’ll add more as we move forward.
We’ll try to keep you posted here so you can follow the progress with us!
