New home means more collaboration

We recently moved (for the eighth time in our company’s history!) to a new office — our largest ever. The plan is to continue to grow into this space and stay here awhile.
We did a lot of work planning the space to be bright, open, and have plenty of places for teammates to get together, and it’s really working out well. The new, upgraded space has prompted a lot of ad hoc meetings and hallway conversations that didn’t happen as much in our old space.
We’ve really worked to create a “home” for Bazaarvoice, and I think we’ve achieved it. Check out the photos of our new space.
Many of the offices have really gorgeous panoramic views of west Austin.
The bright green adds a vibrant energy to the space.
Of course, we still have room to play. The custom mural in the game room was created by local artist Josh Davies.
Many of the materials used in the design were reclaimed/recycled.

Classic! The last photo is the TRUE working environment these companies want you to forget – someone STUCK working at a miserable cube, yeah that’s real change for you. Nice try BVoice just admit it, you’r no different or innovative from the rest. (all fluff and no substance)

Joe (the Plumber)…I don’t know about that…someone who draws a trident through a cupcake can’t be that miserable!

Maybe we should all go work in the forest near our office.
I’ll bring the sunscreen and bug spray.

That cube’s actually pretty nice with one side of it being windows (not pictured) . That’s something not even all the offices have. =)
