Online Tech doubles footprint in expanded, 10,000 sq ft Ann Arbor office

Ann Arbor data center operator Online Tech has been in a growth pattern for some time. Finally, the firm has grown right out of its own office space. Fortunately, Online Tech's Burlington Office Center home on Eisenhower Parkway offered them the opportunity to stay in one place doubling their footprint to 10,000 square feet. 

 

"We were hiring so quickly that we needed more space to keep our team together, and keep that creativity and collaboration going," says April Sage, marketing director for Online Tech. "We really wanted it to be as least disruptive as possible, so when the opportunity came about to add space here, we took it." 

 

Work to renovate the neighboring space in their third floor suite began about six months ago. Knocking out walls has allowed Online Tech to create collaborative spaces for teams, some of which were previously separated into offsite data centers. 

 

The firm eventually plans to take of the entire 13,000 square foot floor, and it's looking like they're going to need it. After hiring 9 staffers earlier this year, Online Tech intends to hire another ten staff members in the third quarter. 

 

"We have about a dozen empty desks yet, so we do have some room," Sage says. "But I don't see any signs of it stopping."

 

Online Tech's growth comes along with the company's plans to expand beyond Michigan's borders and into the Midwest. News of expansions to their data center footprint is expected in the near future.
