Bluetrain’s New Digs

Last Wednesday, after several hectic months of renovations and design decisions, the Bluetrain team finally packed up their things and said goodbye to the office on Pembina Road. Those of you who have Bluetrain on Facebook know that we’ve been positively giddy with anticipation over the new office, but now that we’re here I have to say that it was definitely worth the wait.

We are now happily settling into our new home: a spacious yet cozy open concept office located at 236 – 150 Broadway Crescent in Sherwood Park.

Apparently our office’s design concept is called “modern efficiency” but I prefer to call it “heavenly” as the amount of natural light we get in here is so crazy it bounces off the white laminate surfaces and gives the whole place a heavenly glow.

Here are some of the other office perks that the team is excited about:

“The beautiful coyotes that we can see from our window, the new Keurig and the fancy boardroom.” – Aly Angus.

“The BOSCH dishwasher and the comfy island stools.” – Elaine Manning

“The windows!” – Mark Neufeld

“Our meeting rooms and eating lunch at the island.” – Bryan Smith

“I love that the office is white, bright and modern!” – Shauna Heryford

“I love the bright, airy vibe and the ability to check out whether my coyote friend is terrorizing crows again from the large windows.” – Shauna Carther

“The splashes of blue here and there.” – Diana Gaviria

In addition to the fun features, the new office speaks volumes about Bluetrain’s success as a company. Those who are close to Bryan will perhaps remember the days when he was growing the business from his home and when he decided to take office space in Sherwood Park 2 years ago. Now with a team of 7 working locally, 3 remotely and an ever expanding client list, Bluetrain is finally ready for a space that not only meets our growing needs but also reflects who we are as a company.

We look forward to welcoming future team members, hosting clients and partners and continuing to foster a culture based on results and education.

We’d also like to give a big thank you to all the people who worked hard to help us build our dream office!
