We're Open! - Smart Buildings Center

Smart Buildings Center celebrated its grand opening last week

Over 200 people came to see our new space in the historic Pacific Tower! It was an amazing event and we need to thank all of those who could attend. We will share a few pictures of our space in this post but please stayed tuned, in the coming weeks we will put together a more comprehensive post of our office and event center.
