Brick by brick, or rather SIP by SIP. That is how our building went up.
Over the past year we have transformed the Adventure Cycling headquarters by adding 1400 new square feet, and updating the green ratings in other parts of the building. It has been a long, involved process but we are finally there. All we have left is to install the courtyard gate, which seems to be eternally two weeks out.
We are starting to see the fruits of our labor however. With positions open for two new employees and interviews happening as we speak, our goal of adding 10 to 15 new staff positions is slowly being realized. We cant wait to fill this new space with an expanded team of passionate, qualified individuals who can help us make all of your bicycle travel dreams come true.
Many generous donors have contributed, by joining the Founders Circle, becoming Building Sponsors, or making general donations. In 2012 we raised approximately $250,000 to cover the gap between the Life Member Fund and the cost of the expansion. You can still become an unbreakable spoke in Adventure Cycling's history and future by becoming a Building Sponsor with your name on our courtyard wall or by joining our Founders Circle. Your donation will help us with continued capital improvements and investments as well as with fulfilling our nonprofit mission and programs. There are also some unique recognition opportunities that will ensure your name is attached to this building as long as we are.
Donate today to keep our lights on and our hard drives churning out the best bike travel resources you can find. While you're at it, check out our Flickr gallery of images showcasing the building process.
