Project Manager

Thanks to you and your team for the heroic efforts that were required to complete the build out and allow Acadian to move into our new space this weekend. I am greatly appreciative of all that went into this effort, from timely decision making, to implementing alternative courses of action, and to working Saturdays, Sundays, and round-the-clock shifts to name a few. The October 1 move-in date was driven by Acadian�s business needs. Meeting this goal allows Acadian to meet our clients� objectives without interruption and to further support our growth. I am very happy that we were able to meet this goal. The space looks great! Thanks again for a job well done.
