OpenSourcery

I've posted a few photos from our new office, which has already proven a major upgrade over the 711 SE Ankeny building. Nothing against the old space, which was not devoid of charm, but the following images tell the story of better lighting, more sustainable environs, and so on. Look for OpenSourcery to host community events in the near future (as in, starting with the Drupal meetup tomorrow (Wed. Dec. 10th) night).

It's official. Having outgrown our office on SE Ankeny, OpenSourcery has moved to an incredible building at NW 16th and Lovejoy that's big and beautiful and everything a local development company could want.

Reading time, 3 minutes:

For a while now we've been growing at a pace of nearly one full-time employee per month by bringing on a diverse array of new work. Since 2004, OpenSourcery has outgrown three buildings, starting with a tiny, sustainably built "shed" in Southeast Portland. We quickly burst out of the second building and then spent a good year at 711 Ankeny, where we remained until our developers were working in decidedly too-close quarters. In the Lovejoy Building we've found a home that will accommodate our continued growth. And the space is simply beautiful.

OpenSourcery shares the Lovejoy Building with Opsis Architecture, who renovated the entire structure to gain LEED Gold certification. As Opsis states on their website, "Every portion of the...building was designed to maximize sustainability." To learn more about the incredible systems at play in the Lovejoy Building, peruse our website and learn about OpenSourcery's sustainable practices.

We look forward to hosting even more community events in our new space. 1636 NW Lovejoy is conveniently located on the Streetcar line, it's extremely bike-friendly (over half of our team rides to work most days, so we take full advantage of the indoor bike parking), and it's in a great neighborhood.

We look forward to seeing you in our new space.
