Are We There Yet?!

A Renovation Timeline :: Part 5 :: October 2016


Our Downtown HQ is a marriage of old and new: Freshly painted walls meet scored concrete flooring; our open kitchen features pale blonde cabinetry just a few steps away from the reception area, backed by the age and character of a wall fashioned from reclaimed wood planks from the original building as it was years ago. The conference room is an eclectic combination of new and reclaimed wood, reinforced polycarbonate panels (say that five times fast!) and a vintage railroad shipping container – the perfect staging area for brainstorming sessions or the occasional karaoke performance, depending on the mood. Exposed brick reaches upward to a lofty open ceiling showcasing both original materials and shiny stainless pipes and joists, depending on where you look.

Publishers are traditionally known for having ink under their fingernails; we upped the ante by mixing in a little paint!

A Renovation Timeline :: Part 3 :: August 2016

During the month of August, a significant amount of work was done to frame out the interior of our new building. Individual offices began to take shape and we were able to visualize where we would sit to complete our work, gather as a team or welcome clients and visitors. What once lived only in our mind’s eye was vividly brought to life one 2 x 4 at a time through the combined efforts of many hands.

“We shape our buildings; thereafter, they shape us.”
– Winston Churchill


As our new offices came together, we had the pleasure of working with talented local professionals who brought our vision for a light-filled, vintage-meets-modern collaborative work space to life.

A Renovation Timeline :: Part 1 :: June 2016

When the chance to be part of Downtown Rapid City arose in 2015, we did a collective fist pump and immediately began planning our big move.

Visitor Publishing (now Evergreen Media) was built on the premise that a thriving local business community is a vital component to the success of the greater Black Hills community; carrying out our mission in a historic building in the heart of the action was an opportunity we simply couldn’t pass up.
