GLG Accelerates Growth as Austin Hub Nearly Doubly in Size With Innovative New Space for 400 Employees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austin, Texas; August 3, 2015<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group, Inc.) announced today it has signed a new lease for office space in Austin, Texas, nearly doubling its footprint there. The ten-year lease is for 41,803 square feet from CommonWealth Partners at 301 Congress Avenue in Downtown Austin. Austin is the second-largest location for GLG, the world\u2019s leading professional learning platform, with around 300 professionals working there today; the new space will accommodate 400 employees over the next few years. The office will be designed by award-winning architect Clive Wilkinson, who also designed the GLG global headquarters in New York City \u2013 one of the largest North American implementations of activity-based working. Renderings of the new office are available\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is to transform the way the world\u2019s top professionals share expertise and learn and our Austin team is critical to our success,\u201d said GLG President and CEO Alexander Saint-Amand. \u201cSince opening our office here in 2005, we\u2019ve proudly supported and participated in Austin\u2019s remarkable growth and success.\u201d<\/p>\n

GLG currently occupies 24,279 square feet at 301 Congress, which recently underwent a complete lobby renovation and amenity upgrades. The new office will cover the entire fifteenth and sixteenth floors of the building, which will be connected by a large atrium with a central staircase. Like the New York headquarters, GLG Austin will soon use activity-based working, an innovative concept that eschews assigned personal workspaces for a more flexible and productive approach to work life. Employees will choose from multiple types of private meeting and collaboration spaces, conference and training spaces, and a staffed coffee bar.<\/p>\n

GLG was founded in 1998 to serve professionals who needed perspective they couldn\u2019t find in one-size-fits-all industry reports, courses, or conferences. Today GLG facilitates thousands of connections a week between the world\u2019s leading investors, entrepreneurs, corporations, consulting firms, nonprofits, and startups and a teaching membership of 400,000 policy specialists, academics, engineers, former C-level managers, professional leaders, and other subject matter experts.<\/p>\n

Clive Wilkinson Architects is an award-winning Los Angeles-based firm responsible for Google\u2019s corporate headquarters, Googleplex, and the \u201cSuperdesk\u201d for the Barbarian Group\u2019s New York offices. In 2014, GLG moved into their CWA-designed global headquarters in New York City \u2013 a 64,361-square-foot activity-based workplace in the historic One Grand Central Place (formerly the Lincoln Building). The office is organized into \u201cneighborhoods\u201d of work areas and shared space. Employees move from neighborhood to neighborhood depending on the work they\u2019re doing. To make this work, employees have lockers to store their belongings overnight. They all use laptops that dock at screens where they choose to work. The office was featured in the\u00a0Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, Interior Design<\/em>, and\u00a0Fast Company<\/em>, among other publications.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to again work with the GLG team to bring an innovative, collaborative, progressive workplace to life,\u201d said Clive Wilkinson, President and Design Director of Clive Wilkinson Architects. \u201cGLG Austin will share a thematic aesthetic and operational sensibility with GLG\u2019s New York office, while embracing unique local resources, materials, and craftsmanship. The office will feel both viscerally connected to GLG\u2019s headquarters and distinctly Austin.\u201d<\/p>\n

CWA will be supported by local architects STG Design, led by PollyAnna Little. Aquila Commercial\u2019s Todd Tebbe will manage the project for GLG. GLG will complete the build and move by July 2016.<\/p>\n
