New building

Invenio Solutions has relocated its Winchester office while expanding its office space from 7,000 to 12,000 square feet.

The newly built space is intended to promote a healthy work environment, and it contains innovative design concepts, including:
• Translucent polycarbonate on the interior walls, skylights and reflective foil faced paned on the ceiling to extend the natural daylight throughout the space
• An open layout, with small office kiosks constructed within the cubicle grid
• A new spiral stair to serve as a space for public address

Ervin Construction completed the build-out in less than 100 days, and the new space represents phase one of a two-part expansion plan. Phase two, which is scheduled for spring 2013, will consist of adding 5,000 square feet on to the space.
