CEO Mike Praeger found an ideal location in the Music Factory campus, a formerly industrial site with a historic textile mill on the fringes of Charlotte’s gritty Fourth Ward neighborhood. The Music Factory hosts two Live Nation venues and has transformed into a major entertainment destination, and when AvidXchange needed space to consolidate 800 employees spread across numerous office locations, the Music Factory provided exactly the type of high-energy urban space which would attract and retain a youthful tech workforce. To support a highly collaborative corporate culture, the innovative new work environment required flexible, dynamic spaces for on-the-fly meetings, ideation, creative collisions, and brainstorming. The company prides itself in being nimble and transparent, and the space needed to support the company’s workflow and real-time communication. The concept of transparency, both literal and figurative, became a cornerstone of both the exterior and interior design.
