A Moving Story

By: Marketing/Communications Manager

When most Quadax employees got their first look at our newly-purchased “future home of Quadax” in November 2007, it seemed hard to imagine that it would be ready for us to occupy just a matter of months later. The 1970’s-era structure had been neglected and felt dark and dated, though its ample space and open design held promise. Shortly after that Open House, the construction crews moved in, and they’ve been hard at work ever since turning that promise into beautiful, functional reality. There is some construction still underway, particularly at the front of the building (see first image, below), but nearly all of the work is complete, and we have begun to settle into our new home.

Transformation of the visitor’s entrance, at the front of the building, is
still underway.

The building truly has been transformed with the addition of many windows, a glass clerestory and a new skylight, and a new third floor featuring conference rooms to accommodate a greater number of concurrent meetings. The atmosphere is open, well-lit, and pleasant as well as professional. And, with this move, we are able to bring back into the fold several departments who’d had to be relocated to temporary satellite offices due to the steady growth that pushed us beyond the capacity of our former building. 

The weekend of the move (July 25-27), the Quadax Network Services staff worked long hours installing PCs, phones, and more to ensure business continuity. Though there were boxes to be unpacked on our first morning here, it did not take most people very long to settle in and get right back to work. In fact, on our first day here, Monday July 28, 129 support calls were handled by our EDI Client Support Center and HARP Help Desk, and 37 payer transmissions were conducted successfully. 

Our first day in the new building, we had phones, network connections,
and a few boxes to unpack.

Our new headquarters is conveniently located just minutes from two interstates and the Ohio Turnpike, with several hotel and restaurant options close at hand.  We’re still within five miles of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, but enjoy a verdant view of the woods at the back of our property.  Our new home is sweet indeed, and we look forward to welcoming many of you, our friends, colleagues, and clients when you are in the area.
