Drywall & Details!

The space is taking shape and coming to life!  We are excited be able to see more progress inside the building.  Walls are going up and offices are coming together.  It is really starting to look like the space we knew it could be...space full of great views, innovative technology and people, while maintaining the history the space has and the traditions we enjoy at TrueNorth.

It's important for us to maintain some tradition and retain history. 
This is where our fishtank will be housed in the new building.
The current fish tank and its inhabitants will move to their new home, too, when we move.

Now time should fly as we see more and more space definition in the weeks to come!

Celebrate!

There has been a lot to celebrate in regards to the building! Every day that the weather is nice we get a little bit closer to the end result and move in day! We took the opportunity on Friday, July 15th to invite each of the contractors, their employees and the TrueNorth staff to attend a celebration -- a thank you, if you will -- for all of their hardwork on the building!


We had over 200 people in attendance at Dublin City for food, fun and live music by a band called FarCry, straight out of Nashville, TN! It was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to personally say thank you and get to know some of the people who literally have sweat equity (especially with this heat) in the new building.





The contractors continue to work hard on the building and as a result more exterior changes are taking place. Last week windows started to go in on the second floor. This is very exciting for those of us watching from the "outside," but for those working on the building they serve as a wind block, so they are anxious to get the rest filled in so they can start to temperature control the space so it isn't so hot.




The clock is really ticking as our move-in goal is November! It would be safe to assume that the updates will be more frequent over the next 4 months as it will seem that each day there is major change taking place as the project comes to a close.
