Many Events have been happening at the Barn... Dates are booking up fast!

Hold your next Corporate Event here at "Pat's Barn"

The reconstruction of the historic Dutch barn that has resided in the Tech Park for over 200 years has been completed this past summer.  The Barn has been rebuilt in its original location utilizing the bulk of the structural timbers that defined its classic “H-framed” structure going back to the settlement of the Defreest family in the mid 1700’s.
While preserving the character of this early Dutch homestead, it will now serve a 21st century purpose in the Tech Park as a multipurpose center for seminars, training sessions, planning retreats, receptions and a broad array of special events. 
To find out more about the Barn and its availability contact April Rounds at 518.283.7102 or rounda@rpi.edu.

The layout and design of the two new facilities are intended to reflect the unique culture of their company and the cross discipline teamwork needed to provide customer focused services to their clients. The new buildings will reflect the architecture and scale of their existing building (to the right) which sweeps across the knoll at 125 Defreest Drive and all three are connected by enclosed breezeways. The buildings on each end will be office space and the middle building for web based client meetings, company provided meals and team meetings. Treo Solutions is a healthcare information services company that helps clients develop and implement actionable performance improvement strategies through the use of information. Treo's revenue has quadrupled in the three fiscal years between 2005 and 2008 and staffing has been growing as well. Founder and CEO Bill Kelly, a graduate of RPI, stresses team building and camaraderie."culture cannot be something you simply cultivate in staff meetings".and is looking foward to the new space to enable that client and team first atmosphere.
