In May, CADY will be unveiling the 17k sq. ft expansion of its corporate office. This expansion is called the CADY Innovation Center and will contain new workspaces, a working studio, and a full training area.

The CADY Innovation Center is an expansion of the current corporate office in Alpharetta, Georgia. The CADY Innovation Center will contain state-of-the-art additions to inspire creativity and celebrate both team members and visiting partners. While the first phase was completed on March 17th this year, the entire renovation will be completed in May just in time for the company’s annual leadership summit, CADY+.

At the center of CADY’s culture of innovation awaits the highly anticipated Innovation Center consisting of 9k sq ft of renovated office space and an additional 17k sq ft expansion. The walls will be adorned with vibrant and dynamic images of students and their families as well as our very own team members. Top of the line productivity accommodations will include: flexible coffee shop workspaces, new individual offices, and ample group areas for collaboration. Features to celebrate teams and partners will include a new state-of-the-art cafeteria boasting Photographer of the Month and Core Value Spotlight displays. In addition, a 12 ft portrait display of team members and educators that make Cady’s mission possible; our CADY Heroes.

The grand finale - a fully functional Innovation Studio equipped with flexible and creative approaches to photography scenes as well as a curated training space for professional growth and development. This Development Space will be optimized for in-person, streaming, and recorded trainings and presentations. Built with professional lighting, audio, and video, it will ensure that all team members can access and interact with the content. “We are the canvas telling the amazing and colorful stories of our students, teachers, and team members. This space creates a place for us to do just that. The minimalist and sleek look is by design. We want the imagery to be at the center of our focus.” - Madison Orozco-Tello, Chief of Staff at CADY.
