There are glass walls everywhere, the lights are burning, the A/C is cooling, and even the WonDoors are working. All that’s left is to finish up all the loose ends and get it all cleaned up. And oh yeah…pass our final inspections! It’s hard to believe, but this week we’re moving!

Not to say that everything is complete, but we’re about ready to pass final inspections and get moved in. After that we’ll still have a ton of little things to finish up, and a lot of settling in to do. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get everything finished and furnished, and ready to show to our friends and families.

In my previous posts, I’ve mentioned the Town Square with our own Barista, the two theaters for customer presentations and X-Box at night, and of course our state-of-the-art lighting system with no light switches. Here are a few more interesting features:

  Anne happy with our new marker board walls
 
  • Writing on the walls – You’re never far from a place for creativity and/or brainstorming. All of the concrete columns are wrapped with dry erase marker boards, and there are 6 large, free-standing, double-sided marker boards scattered throughout the main office area. But best of all, there will be many, many walls painted with dry erase marker board paint…making the entire wall writeable and erasable.
  • Video – It will be everywhere! There will be 7 meeting rooms with rear projection screens, 7 rear projection screens surrounding the main office area and quite a few large screen TVs throughout.
So what’s a WonDoor?
As you know by now, the design for the space is very open. It begins from the moment you step off of the elevator and into the Town Square. But the city officials (and their building code) want to make sure everyone is safe. Other floors in the building (like the 20th floor we currently occupy) have big fire doors to block off the elevator lobbies. Unfortunately, the doors and their supporting walls severely detract from the openness we want.

  • Enter the WonDoors – The WonDoor is a folding door that rolls away into a pocket. When open, you barely notice it. When closed, it meets all the fire safety requirements. But what’s really cool, is that they are motorized and tie into the fire system. If a fire alarm is set, they automatically close and secure the elevator lobby. If you need to exit when they are closed, you simply push on an exit bar and they open wide enough to exit.
