Although it seems like a lifetime ago, we were orchestrating the move of our administrative offices to Liberty Station in January of 2020, thrilled to be joining another vibrant arts campus. The pandemic made taking occupancy a real challenge, but as soon as we possibly could we set up outdoor ChIMES classes that could help families and their little ones engage during this incredibly stressful time. This new video from the Liberty Station management team, featuring lots of pre-pandemic footage, is an encouraging reminder of all the reasons we love this location. Take a look – you can find ChIMES at around :45.
Such a cool video!!
I saw CHIMES in the video. Is the office moved now too?
