Leading Wisconsin IT provider to hold news conference, open house Monday, August 29 for expanded cutting-edge service desk, tech demo and testing facility at former Heroes Fitness Center
Paragon Development Systems (PDS) will hold a news conference and open house on Monday, August 29 for the official opening of its re-located Technology Center in the former Heroes Athletic Club building at Highways 51 and 30. Events will start at 10 am, with a brief news conference at 10:30 am. The full schedule is as follows:
10:00 – 10:30 a.m. Meet and Greet
10:30 – 10:45 a.m. Short Presentation of PDS – news conference
10:45 – 11:15 a.m. Tour of facility
11:15 – 11:45 One-on-ones, Q&A
The building, which has been nationally recognized for its architecturally striking design, sat unused for more than a year after the health club closed without warning. PDS acquired the building earlier this year and has since made a substantial investment to convert the space into a state-of-the-art IT facility. PDS currently employs 74 in Madison, with room to double the size of its local workforce. The PDS client list includes the Mayo Clinic, Marshfield Clinic, Alliant Energy, Dean Health Systems, the State of Wisconsin, and the UW System.
