Meeting
Dear Mr. Lippert,
Here are a few points I'd like to cover at our upcoming meeting. The lease on our current building expires this year, so we will need to begin moving into the Walden Street location as soon as the construction is completed. Although our budeget for this projects is extremely tight, we are committet to aesthetically pleasing design. Also, the local community board needs assurance that this project will be contained in terms of construction dirt and noise, which could be disruptive to those who live and work in the neighborhood.
Our team was impressed with the work they saw on the tour of LKO Design's past projects in the city, and we hope we will be able to come to an agreement.
Sincerely,

Determine next steps for Walden Street construction project
Decisions
- LKO will evaluate whether it is possible to build onto the existing structure and will draw up an initial budget.
-If the project is determined to be too expensive to undertake, Permia Systems will pay for the assesment; otherwise, it will be complimentary.
- The entire project must be finished by the first week in December to ensure adequate time for Permia Systems to move all staff into their new headquarters before the end of this year.
Amazing Transformation
(November 28)  Those who remember the vacant Quinn Office Services building on Walden Street may find it hard to believe that most of that squat, dull building still stands. That's because the old building is hidden beneath the stunning new national headquarters of Permia Systems, which is now nearly complete. LKO Design was able to use the old building's foundation and come of its existing structure.
"This was important because the client wanted to avoid disturbance to the community by minimizing the noise and dust," said Bjarte Nielsen, design engineer for LKO Design. "The first thing we did was assess the structure. Our preliminary resarch indicated that we would be able to save the foundation and the main support walls, which helped us attain the client's goal." - By Juno Pelletier
