Last September, AASHE moved into a new office here in Lexington, Kentucky, and now that we’re all settled in, we wanted to virtually share our new space with you. And first, the AASHE staff would like to sincerely thank IBM - Lexington, Interface, Inc, PortionPac, and Baltix Sustainable Furniture for their generation donations in helping to get our new office up and running.
The Lexington IBM office is currently downsizing, and a few of their bighearted employees decided for donate some of their leftover furniture to AASHE. Here are some photos that show the IBM tables on our back deck, the IBM chairs and shelves (with AASHE intern Robin), and an IBM white board and easel (with AASHE intern Matt).
A representative from Interface, Inc stopped by our old office back when we were getting ready to move, and so kindly donated their ‘green’ carpet tiling for the new space. Here’s a close up:
Baltix Sustainable Furniture offered us a discount on some tables, desks, and drawers for the new office. Here’s a photo of (from left to right) Elizabeth and Lisa at their workstations made out of wheat and sunflower seeds, Niles at his sunflower seed table, and one of many Baltix tables ready for our future staff and interns.
And here’s a few more photos in case you would like a closer look at the Baltix workstations:
Additionally, PortionPac generously sent us a few of their green cleaning products to help us keep our office clean, in an eco-friendly manner.
And here’s a few more photos of the rest of our office so that you can get a sense of where you are calling and/or emailing:

Thanks again to all of our donors!
