What a wet and wild week it’s been. Yesterday’s storms did tremendous damage throughout the county, taking out roads and trees and, for a short period, Cruzio’s email, phone and web servers. With limited power supply, we focused our energies on our customers’ services over our own internal systems and communication tools. Now those services are restored, we wanted to check in and let you know what happened here, and what we’re doing about it.

First Friday @ Cruzioworks! Art in our Coworking Space
Cruzioworks never looked so gorgeous as when the First Friday digital artists (from DANM) set up their pieces. Music hummed, lights flashed, wine and canapes were consumed… and best of all, we all experienced the place anew alive with art.
Some photos:
Valentines for Cruzio
On Valentine’s Day 2011, Cruzio had a visit from two talented first graders, Garritt and Zak, from Gateway School.
They also brought homemade Valentine cookies, which were delicious. Here are the cards they brought. Thank you Garrit and Zak!

Ribbon Cutting at 877 Cedar
On Friday, February 11th, Cruzio and Ecology Action got together to celebrate the opening of our newly renovated building at 877 Cedar Street.
Cruzio will be holding another celebration — open to the public, yes, you are invited — when we light up the gigabit fiber we’ve brought into downtown Santa Cruz. The date isn’t set yet, but we expect it in late March. But here are some pics from the first one:

Colocation in Santa Cruz
Pretty impressive air conditioner in Cruzio’s new data center! We’ll soon be hosting servers in the space, which will be also be fitted out with gigantic UPS and generator units, as well as an FM200 fire suppression system.
Finishing the Renovation
Cruzio is in the final stretch of our renovation project and the building is looking fine. It’s on the corner of Cedar and Church Street in downtown Santa Cruz, and we have already started moving in.
The coworking space has huge North-facing windows over it — a beautiful, well-lit space. Many windows are openable, providing pleasant fresh air on nice days.
Cruzio’s New Building Gets Better and Better
Walls have been framed, sheetrocked and taped. Kind of beautiful to look at the unfinished bones of Cruzio’s new office space.
Red staircase
Our designer Krissie Olson chose red stairs for our new office space.
It’s not going to be a typical bland office space…

We’ve got walls
Now Cruzio’s new building is more than a skeleton. We’ve got rooms becoming actual rooms, with sheetrock, tape and plaster. It’s exciting to see our floorplan fleshed out and becoming 3-dimensional at last.
We’re impatient to move in, but there’s still another month of work to go.
