They’re Tearing Down the fxphd Loft

[image title=”newspace-0165″ size=”thumbnail” id=”682″ align=”left” ]We’ve only been in our new offices for just over a year, but already we’re having to move to a new location. Our current beautiful old loft space is being torn down at the end of the year to make room for a Ronald McDonald House. It’s hard to complain, since it is a charity “hotel” of sorts for families whose children are in the hospital — and with a new one being built nearby there will most likely be a demand for affordable places to stay.

Liz Tate and Jim Annerino, owners of Hootenanny with whom we share space, found a nice space about a block away from our current location. It’s actually the former haunts of Outsider, a post company that shuttered earlier this year due to the economic conditions. This sad event for those owners actually ended up being a blessing for us, as the space already includes a machine room, cable runs, and edit/graphics suite-sized offices.

We have a bit of teardown to do at the space — removing the loathed drop ceilings, fluorescent lighting, and more. Our plan is to film during construction and show the building out process to our fxphd members. I’m sad to move…but change is always exciting.
