Clickstop Building Expansion Construction Update

So much can change in just a few short months!

Have you seen our building expansion construction lately? From the outside, not much has changed except the addition of a fresh thick layer of snow. But on the inside, we have made quite a bit of progress! From drywall and doorways, to carpet, flooring and lighting, things are really taking shape. We are expecting to make the big move sometime in April, fingers crossed. But for now, we can just wander over to the building and take photos for all to see. Check it out!

 

Let’s start with a few areas you may have already seen.

The ground floor of the building has been in various stages of construction for awhile. The main office area and offices are pretty much complete. In fact, a few of the rooms already have furniture and will soon have the finishing touches, such as photos and plants. Mitch has been hard at work putting together the furniture one room at a time. As you can see, there are five or so rooms that have pieces of furniture together.  Shout out to Mitch for his hard work, and shout out to Ben and Leslie for making sure to sit on every chair when they were shopping for our furniture. So far, everything is quite comfortable! Our behinds say thanks!

Building Construction
The only thing missing from this office is the USCC President himself, Todd! Well, there are still a few pieces of furniture that need to be assembled, but great progress is being made!
Building Construction
The Training Room was one of the first rooms to be completed. We have plenty of tables and chairs and a great audio/visual system set up. This room will be used for teams to train on new products and processes.
Building Construction
This little room is named Curious after one of our core traits. It is a meeting room and Library all in one! The shelves along the left hand side will hold all of our books, and the two chairs are extremely comfortable. Artwork coming soon!
Building Construction
This conference room is called Expect Greatness, after one of our core values. Talk about transparency! This room will be great for strategy meetings and team meetings.
Building Construction
Tim should be sitting behind this desk soon, when he isn’t jamming out with the Clickstop band.
Building Construction
Mitch is putting his skills to work assembling our furniture for the new space. This is the shelf unit for TIm’s office.

Up Next… The Locker Rooms and Lactation Room

One of the many great things about the new space; there will be plenty of restrooms and locker rooms. Before our expansion started, we only had a ladies and men’s room, one unisex restroom in the warehouse, and two restrooms with showers in the fitness area. And with over 100 employees, we needed more! Well, now we have it! The manufacturing space has their own nice restrooms. The new office space will have another set of restrooms. There will be a set of locker rooms with three private shower stalls, and even be a private lactation room for the new mothers. In case you missed it, we are expecting 8 new little ones in our extended Clickstop family! Check out the blog post here!

Building Construction
The cabinetry is up in the lactation room. A refrigerator will be installed as well for storage.
Building Construction
The lactation room has two separate “stalls” so mothers can have privacy. The rooms will have comfortable chairs and stools, with a side table.
Building Construction
The stalls are up in the men’s room.
Building Construction
The sinks and mirrors are getting their finishes now.
Building Construction
The lockers have been installed. Plenty of space for anyone who wants to get their pump on during the day or after work.
Building Construction
The locker rooms will have three private shower stalls. A curtain in the back will separate the front of the stall from the back, and a door will enclose each stall separately, for added privacy.

Kitchen, Grand Room, and Pub

Chef Zach is getting excited as construction continues! The floor of the kitchen was laid last week. This week, different pieces of the kitchen are being installed. He will soon be out of our bistro and into a real Chef’s Kitchen! We are excited as well, since we miss eating his delicious soups and warm meals. The kitchen is going to have a prep space in the back, a separate room for the freezers and refrigeration, a large area for dishes and cleaning, and a large walk through space with a serving counter, salad bar, beverage station and much more.

When you walk out of the kitchen space, you will walk into the grand room. The grand room will have seating for everyone to enjoy their lunch. At the front of the room is a stage and TV wall for company wide meetings. In the back of the room is our pub. Booth seating and atmosphere! You can enjoy  your lunch in this room, have meetings, or just take a quick break from your day! Though there is a lot of construction that still needs to happen, but with a little imagination, you can see Clickstoppers gathering.

Building Construction
Looking into the Grand Room, you can see plenty of natural light and lots of space for company meetings.

The kitchen is taking shape! Installation of big equipment is starting!

From the Grand Room, employees will be able to drop off their trays and dishes through this window.

The pub is taking shape! This room will be a great space for eating lunch or having team meetings. Employees will no longer be eating lunch at their desks with this new space!
Building Construction
Looking down from the second floor, you can see the construction of the stage taking place. The stage will be the center piece of the Grand Room.
Building Construction
This is a shot going up the small ramp to the stage. The doorway on the other side is the audio/visual closet.
Building Construction
The stage is looking very nice! As you can see, there will be a TV wall.

 

Media Room, Game Room, and Gym

These three rooms might be three of the most anticipated spaces! (Well, two of them at least. I am a bit biased on the Media room since I am the videographer.) So let’s start with the Media Room. Long gone will be the days of the cramped tornado shelter! Yep, that is where the media room used to be! At least I knew the cameras were safe during bad weather. Once construction is finished and we move into this space, there will be a separate room for photography. The Media Room will be spacious and have room for growth.

The Game Room… I do not know how else to explain this room other than massive! This room is quite exciting to see come together. We have plans to paint murals on the walls. There will be plenty of seating for relaxing and playing games; A pool table and ping pong table of course. And the rest of the room… you will just have to wait and see!

The Gym is incredibly exciting. We currently have a small gym in our building but this is going to be much more spacious! There will be room for cardio equipment, weight lifting, and even a separate room for working out to videos. No more being self conscious about jumping and dancing around while you work out!

Building Construction
The framing of the photo room walls are going up. As you can see, there will be double doors that open to the warehouse, but not for people, for products! The warehouse team will be able to lift pallets of product up for photo shoots!
Building Construction
The Media Room is going to have space for a couple of work stations, a video corner, and storage. The door in the back will lead out to the photo room.
Building Construction
The game room is really looking great! We will soon be working on painting the walls with murals.
Building Construction
The Gym is will be large and bright! The wall of windows in the back is where the cardio equipment will be. Who needs a TV when you can put on some music and look outside?
Building Construction
The gym has a separate room for employees interested in working out with DVDs.
Building Construction
There will be a small storage closet in the gym for all of our extra gear.

Construction of Everything else!

And here is a look at everything else! We have a lot of conference room space for one on ones, team meetings, and even quick pow wows. The building will have really nice finishing touches as well, including a stone wall, cement planter, lots of plants and natural light. There will be areas to relax and areas to buckle down to really get some work done. Though the construction is still pushing forward, we are getting really anxious to move into the new space.

Building Construction
Stairs will lead down to the main floor in the atrium. As you can see, the wall on the left is covered in stone, and there are windows all along the length of the ceiling.
Building Construction
Windows throughout the building. This window overlooks the warehouse space.
Building Construction
Another small, but bright conference room! This room is Make Time for Fun and Family, and will showcase the most loved members in everyone’s family… the pets!
Building Construction
The hallway going into the Grand Room.
Building Construction
These three rooms, right in a row, will be work pods. A great spot for collaboration between a few people.
Building Construction
These windows overlook the new manufacturing space.
Building Construction
Upstairs will have an outdoor themed area. The carpet will resemble grass, and there will be relaxing seating throughout.
Building Construction
Two conference rooms in the IT area of the new building. For meetings, one on ones, and storage.
Building Construction
This office space will house the IT department. A nice, low traffic, quiet area where the team can focus.

So there you have it! As you can see, the construction is coming along. Subscribe to our blog, or keep checking back for more updates!
