Hello Thursday. April 25 2024 
Raleigh-based Bandwidth — a communications software company — broke ground yesterday on a new $100 million headquarters, featuring amenities like an olympic-sized soccer field, an amphitheater, and a Montessori school for employees’ children.

Including a 5-story office building with an on-site cafe, plans also include a basketball court, a fitness center + 2 miles of walking trails.
Bandwidth employees are already back to working in person 5 days a week, and the new campus is designed to allow employees to have a balanced lifestyle while still going into the office every day.
“The close collaboration and creative energy of working in person is a key part of our culture,” David Morken, Bandwidth CEO, said at the groundbreaking ceremony. “This building will bring all of us together in an environment of innovation, collaboration, and shared experience more than has ever been possible before.”

You learn something new every day — and today we learned that Lollapalooza, the music festival that draws ~400,000 people to Chicago each July, once came to Raleigh. The first Lollapalooza, held 30 years ago, was actually a tour that went to 20 cities in the US + Canada — one of which was Raleigh.
