The Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants is relocating from Rocky Hill to a smaller office in Glastonbury as it adapts to members’ preferences for virtual learning.
“Our Rocky Hill space was larger than we now need, as most of our members prefer virtual education,” said Bonnie Stewart, the group’s CEO and executive director. “Our new Glastonbury office is a modern, right-sized space that lets us innovate while continuing to grow and invest in opportunities for our members.”
The association spent 25 years in Rocky Hill, including the past 15 in a 10,000-square-foot office at 716 Brook St. It has since signed a five-year lease for 3,000 square feet at 95 Glastonbury Blvd., in Glastonbury, with an option to renew.
Founded in 1908, the organization has more than 6,000 members. It moved out of its Rocky Hill office in April, and its 14 employees have been working remotely while the Glastonbury space is being built out.
The society has not set an official move-in date. “We’re homeless,” Stewart joked.
The Rocky Hill office included three classrooms, seven offices, a food-service area, cubicles and storage space. The new location will have four offices, two conference rooms and flexible work areas.
“The layout reflects the way people work today, providing staff and members with spaces to connect, collaborate or find privacy when needed, while supporting a range of activities, from board and council meetings to committee discussions,” Stewart said.
