Rational Acoustics relocates and expands
- Details
The new HQ, located at 32 Crabtree Lane in Woodstock, houses Rational’s administration, sales, product development and warehouse operations as well as a new in-house Smaart training centre. At 5,700sq.ft, the new building is nearly three times larger than Rational’s previous offices and will accommodate the company’s continuing growth in personnel, sales and training.
“This is an incredibly exciting time for Rational,” comments Karen Anderson, Rational Acoustics’ CEO & co-founder. “Over the past 10 years we have grown from a little four-person start-up to a company of 11 people. We have more than doubled our personnel, tripled the number of Smaart classes we hold each year and quadrupled our sales. Our original offices served us well, but we have simply outgrown them. We needed to find a space that would accommodate our vision for the future of Rational Acoustics.”
One of the primary features of the new building is the addition of an 1,100sq.ft Smaart training centre. This facility will host a variety of Smaart classes throughout the year, including the standard three-day Smaart Operator Fundamentals class, as well as some new, shorter advanced/special topic seminars which will be introduced in the coming months. With over two acres of land surrounding the building, attendees will be able to gain hands-on experience utilising Smaart with larger systems and in both indoor and outdoor situations.
“Relocating is bittersweet,” says Anderson. “We made some great memories (and software) in our old space. But we are looking forward to making more, of both, in our new home.”
