ANNOUNCEMENT

 

A temporary office has been established in the adjacent building from our previous location. The new address is:

 

9430 Research Blvd.

Echelon II, Suite 320

Austin, Texas  78759

 

Please e-mail Will for directions with regards to accessing the parking lot since the building driveway entrance from the Highway 183 access road is shut down. A map with directions to our new location will be posted on the website.

 

Telephone lines should be re-established later this week. Be sure to check back with our website. Updates will be posted as more information becomes available.   


 

23 Feb 2010 - Update

Our office building has been released by the FBI to KVA - the building management company.  Their engineers are evaluating the structure for both accessibility by the occupants as well as for re-construction activities.  For now, our records (and equipment, supplies, etc.) are sequestered.  Telephone service should be available by the end of today February 23rd (?).  We are using borrowed Internet service from KVA - e-mail is the best communication vehicle for now.

We have moved twice, each time to larger facilities to better service our clientele. For the past 5 years we have been located on the ground floor in the Echelon One Building, Suite 120. Our office is conveniently located on Highway 183 between Highway 360 and Loop 1. We are close to downtown Austin (8 miles), I-35 (4 miles), and hotels, restaurants, shopping are all right in our backyard. Our large, airy suite can accommodate large and small groups comfortable to provide a great learning experience for both initial (long) courses and refreshers.
