A building on the south side of the downtown square has a new purpose as of this month, changing the interior look and layout of the structure as well as the lives of international guests spending time in Aurora while being trained to drive big-rig trucks in America.
Debuting officially as The Office, the building at 1206 L Street is designed to create a multi-functional space as a truck driving training center, as well as a rentable office location similar to a WeWork concept popular in larger cities.
“It will be a membership-based office rental,” explained Todd Vettel, who purchased the building along with his father David and brothers Tim and Trevor as owners of International Workforce Services. “The notion was that the IWS use of it would be limited, so we would have additional space in The Office that we could rent out for events, maybe as an Airbnb or having people go directly to our website. We’re fairly maxed out space-wise right now because of the influx of drivers we have, but we will turn the switch on for renting The Office when the time is right.”
