HOUSTON TX -  Construction software developer HCSS has broken ground on a new, company-owned office building on an eight-acre campus in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land.  The one-story, 45,000-square-foot building will offer amenities designed both for employees and HCSS customers who visit there.  Its size will allow the company to double its workforce from the current staff of 112 employees to 220. 

HCSS will move to the new location in August, vacating the Houston office building where it has rented space since 1999.  "While we're happy with our current office space, we feel that the move to this new facility in a smaller community will provide huge benefits for hiring and retaining the employees who will help create and service the software that will help our customers grow their businesses," said Mike Rydin, HCSS president.

Ten conference rooms will accommodate up to 10 customer companies simultaneously for implementation training.  The facility is planned as a LEED Certified Silver Building with natural light and maximum employee control of lighting and air conditioning.  HCSS believes that a healthy work environment will enhance employee comfort and productivity.

"We're attempting to create the ideal work environment with this campus-style facility," Rydin said.  "Our goal is to attract top talent who will stay with us a long time and provide the best possible service to our customers.  The facility also will give us many options for working with and entertaining customers when they visit us."
