Shakespeare Squared has moved!

I’m pleased to announce that Shakespeare Squared has moved into a new office space! After much deliberation (and much, much more planning), we’ve moved our offices to Northbrook, about 10 minutes north of our previous space in Glenview.

While it was a change for all of us, it was a big change for me personally. Our previous office was the first and only space we had once I moved the company out of my house. I carefully built it out three times over the years, renovating and remodeling to hold our expanding business, overseeing every detail down to ensuring that the tile flooring in the shipping area had some blue and purple in it—the colors of our company logo. Needless to say, it was a big decision to leave something I had invested so much time, effort and energy into (not to mention the fact my two-minute commute was about to get five times longer!). But in the end, I had to realize that an office space is just walls. The people fill that space are what makes it special.

As with any big change in life, there are always pros (like windows throughout the entire office, something my entire staff couldn’t be happier about) and cons, like a smaller break room. The important thing to realize is that change is a good thing—we can’t grow without it. And any good change means more pros than cons. From decreased rent and a better use of space to more meeting areas and a Starbucks right down the street, I know that there are definitely more pros here.

So please, update your address books: Shakespeare Squared’s new address is 626 Academy Drive, Northbrook, IL 60062. Our phone number has remained the same (847.998.0535) but our fax has also changed: 847.770.6498. Stop by for a tour of our brand new space!
