Two weeks after the move

For the last 2 weeks (right after we moved into the new custom built campus) I was primarily dealing with issues such as mail address change, assembling and installing new furniture, tuning up the air conditioner, resetting the building door to automatically lock at 7 pm, not at 6 pm as it was before.

Today we are having the Scandinavian Design people working in our office. They are assembling our office furniture, which we just received. A few pieces are still missing. But it will be much nicer environment now since I can finally get my stuff from boxes and place it where it belongs.

There will be new evening QA class starting next week on Monday, November 29. And the next day-time program, we call it QA Express, start one week after. For the last ten years we did not have day-time classes - the school was operating from 7 pm till 11 pm, which we continue to do. But recently day classes became very popular and we are happy to offer those.

Another concern we have and we communicate that to the students is maintaining the nice business environment in the building and the school premises. We are much more straightforward now on prohibiting drinks and food in the classrooms and anywhere outside the kitchen. The kitchen, BTW, is big enough and very much enjoyable.

Few more weeks and we will be done with the remaining things such as framing and hanging art on the walls, placing the nice School logo in the reception area, and such.

Another big project after that will be replacing computers with the brand new ones. But we have to wait until the Comcast high speed Internet comes to our building, which might take some time.

We opened the doors at our new location

Yes, we finally moved to our new campus, which offers more parking, more square footage, first floor vs. second floor before, 9' versus 8' ceilings. It is custom planned, it is professionally designed, it comes with new furniture and ceiling mounted projectors.

We have a kitchen now and a very nice conference room.

Internet connection is not what we need though. Comcast is coming soon to the Plaza to fix the problem. Meanwhile we will find the ways of adjusting to the existing capacity of what AT&T is able to offer.

We are 100% committed to the NO FOOD - NO DRINKS policy outside of the kitchen. We really do not want any food or drinks on neither linoleum nor carpet.

Please, park your cars in the far left corner of the parking lot - not on the parking adjacent to the building itself.
