I started working at Apogee on Dec 14, 1992. I worked at the longest tenured offices from the start until we moved out of the building in November 2002. We moved into the offices we were at when the place closed down in May of 2009 then.

Anyway, I recall coming over to the place seeing it when it was being put together in August of 2002. The place used to belong to a medical facility. They didn't do procedures here, it was all office stuff. The place was was filled on the inside with cubes and whatnot. We essentially gutted the place, and put up our own walls and all that.

But the best part was watching the nuke logo on the floor go together. It was a pretty intricate piece of tile work, as evidenced by the pictures I have of construction:









The giant Duke Nukem logo on the floor was something that was always a discussion point. From UPS drivers, to business people, to vendors, even to personal friends. Everyone was impressed by the lobby - that logo was really impressive. And before you ask, no I don't know what will happen to it.

Y'all know the last picture taken there, at least officially:



I also took this video on Saturday afternoon with my daughter:
