This past Saturday, I helped my company move to a new office. Our old office was located in a suburban commercial office “park” with a bunch of other offices. Our new office is located in the middle of downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan (Google maps here).
The location is a big advantage for me, being 50% closer to home. The open environment and the fact that I get a window make the new office a big win for me. Parking isn’t too much of a worry, but I’m sure that certains days of the week will be worse than others because our building is located within a block of the Van Andel Arena.
I’ve never worked in a downtown office, so this experience is a new one for me. I hope that during the Spring, Summer and Fall months that I’ll be able to eat lunch by the Grand River and get out of the office a little easier than before. There’s nothing like escaping the office for an hour or so in the middle of the day.
