Going back to my birthplace
Posted by jane - June 22, 2010
In case you were not aware I am very excited about moving into Pool Innovation Centre and it is possible to see where I was born from the offices on the top floor.
Pool Innovation Centre is a striking building with a high quality environmental specification that meets full BREEAM* Excellence. It is going to be great working in this new state of the art office environment amongst others who wish to capitalise on the excellence of the facilities.
I have met several of the other new tenants, there is an real buzz and excitement about moving in. Being in this positive environment with other people in a similar field, not only helps the creative process but encourages collaborative working among fellow professionals. This can only benefit the service we offer our clients.
I am going to be one of the first tenants to move into the Formation Zone and will be given business support to help the business grow. Pool Innovation Centre is being run by The University of Plymouth following their successful model in Plymouth.
Additional benefits include use of a dedicated facilitated meeting space, reception service and a faster internet connection. These technological advances will help propel the business forward and allow Hooper Graphics to compete nationally.
2 comments:* BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design and has become the de facto measure used to describe a building’s environmental performance.

For those that are unsure where it is – it is in the grounds of Cornwall College, on the large piece of grass that was in front of the old School of Mines / Berlewen building.

Hi Jane,
Just read your blog and wanted to say ‘congratulations’ on the move! I am emailing you a picture from the ‘NVQ photo shoot’ we did a few weeks back, unfortunatley none of the papers picked it up but thought you might like the piccy anyway! See you soon I am sure and good luck settling in to your new shiny office! Regards Jo
