New to PCI

We’re moving! (updates)

PCI will be relocating its San Antonio Headquarters to the Corporate Square business complex across from Loop 410, located at 4801 Northwest Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78229. Our move date is a continual moving target, but is tentatively scheduled for late-August. We will provide a more precise date as construction progresses. Initial details can be found in our previous newsletter issue.

On Wednesday, June 29th, Marilu and Alex took a trip to the construction site to see the progress and the location amenities! While there was plenty of dust and construction material, the potential of the open space was palpable. The natural lighting and well-kept landscaping was a refreshing sight. As seen in the photo to the right, there is an open area upstairs that houses offices belonging to University Health and a spacious, quiet lounge area with laptop tables.

After talking to some of the employees in the nearby offices, we learned a few things about the Corporate Square site.

The parking area is shared by the Concord College building next door, so parking will fill up around the 8am time frame.

Additionally, there are plenty of food options in the area, including a new Mambo Seafood location currently under construction right next door (where the Joe’s Crab Shack used to be).

Employees also recommend the on-site cafe, now named Herb & Pickle, where patrons can find a decent lunch for around $12. They do close at 3pm on Monday through Thursdays, and at 2pm on Fridays.

Parking

Approx. Office Location Leveled Parking ($)

As previously mentioned, open lot parking is available to everyone on a first-come-first-serve basis. Due to the presence of Concord College to the left of the image above, parking fills up with students around 8am.

The parking spots closes to the building, not marked as handicap, are visitor parking spots. The parking area marked with a yellow circle is gated, leveled parking, and requires a fee. At this time, only our PCI trucks will be parked in this area.

The area circled in red is approximately where our office will be located, on the first floor.

Preliminary details on the move

Our tentative move date is scheduled for Saturday, August 26th. This date is subject to change, however, depending on construction progress.

Packing

When we get closer to our move date (approximately a week prior), employees will be given industrial crates (such as those pictured to the left), to box up their content. Employees will be responsible for boxing up and labeling their own office materials (not including monitors or other electronic equipment that is specific to that station). Employees are encouraged to move any items that are fragile or that they do not want the movers to move. Employees at desks will be provided with three (3) crates each, and those with office will be given four (4). You can request additional crates, if needed. Survey crews will be responsible for moving all survey instruments. Items in the storage rooms will be provided with extra large boxes on casters for packing.

Moving Day

On Saturday, August 26th, the movers will move all crates and some limited furniture to the new office location. Employees will work remotely from Monday, August 28th to Thursday, August 31st. Employees can go to the office to unpack their crates during this time, however.

We will be cleared to occupy the office on Friday, September 1st. On that day, all crates will need to be already emptied, as the moving company will return to reclaim them. Movers will be responsible for decommissioning all old furniture/cubicles from the old office, and will clear out remaining furniture by September 8th.

Plans to auction off eligible furniture will be forthcoming.

Employees should plan for these move dates and take necessary steps, so they have access to equipment, instruments, and supplies for any immediate project needs.

Leadership will keep employees posted if move dates change again. Any questions or concerns around the move can be directed to Beto.
