This is an extreme close-up of a selection of our new carpet here in City Center. We’ve been in the midst of a new carpet installation project for about the past month. You’ll see this pattern and color in our atrium and in private offices. I would describe it as blue, grey, and brown, but I’m sure the real color names are much snazzier than that.
This is a view of the new carpet from our central reception desk looking down the hall towards our front doors. You will see a mix of carpet styles and colors in this area of the building. People with taste (and I’m not one of those people, I must admit) in modern office decor tell me it looks good. I believe them.
The contractor doing this work for the City is LaVan Floor Coverings from Burnsville. They have done an outstanding job for us. They do all the work after regular business hours. They have an installation system that allows them to remove the old carpet and install the new carpet without requiring us to disassemble and move all of our office cube furniture. It’s really quite amazing how they get this done. I thought this project would be much more disruptive for both employees and for our citizen/customers. It’s actually been very smooth for employees, and had the added benefit of encouraging (and by “encouraging” I really mean “requiring”) employees to do a little office cube cleaning too. And for citizens, since it’s all done at night, there has been no interruption in our services due to this project.
And, it looks great too.
