The Final Weeks

We're less than a month away from being fully operational in our new CenterPoint facility. In fact, we already have some associates working at the new building! The receiving department is already working in the warehouse, taking in stock and organizing it so everything runs smoothly when everyone else arrives.

This is a look at the second floor office area, which is just about complete. Once the furniture is delivered, this area will be 100% ready. This corner will be occupied by the Insite Design Team where the designers will have plenty of natural light illuminating their work area.
The lower level office area is coming along with carpeting and ceiling tile installation wrapping up. Once all that is complete, the area will be ready for cubicle installation and furniture.
Here we have a sneak peek at our lunchroom/cafeteria where we will likely have a food service with plenty of options available for purchase.
Here's a great shot of the shipping portion of the warehouse. You can see how the conveyor runs right to the docking bay where packages will be run directly into the delivery trucks.

Thanks again to Sharon for some more great photos!

Countdown to Moving Day: 1 Month, 4 Days

We're just about a month away from our December 15th move and CenterPoint is really starting to transform. All the generators are in Pittston now (we have two of them), so Big Ben will remain on temporary power until we move. The building exterior, which you can see below, is essentially complete as the finishing touches are hastily being implemented and crunch time begins.

Don't worry about looking at bland, white walls anymore. Here you can see that CenterPoint has some flavor with loud, orange walls lining some hallways. Thanks to Becky Clouse in C&P for sending us this photo.

On the left is an area we haven't seen too much of yet. The restrooms, lined with decorative tile, add a nice touch to the building as a whole. On the right is a shot of the progress in the lower level offices. They're coming along and should be seeing some rapid transformation in the days and weeks to come.












Here's a look at the completed exterior.
On the left is a shot of all the work going on in the warehouse. The conveyor installation has been a tall task but is drawing to a close. On the right is the progress in the upper level offices. Carpet has been laid, paint is on the walls and some doors have even been installed.






Thanks again to Sharon for the photos!
