A sneak peak of Festool's training facility expansion

[TylerC]

For the past few months, our Lebanon, Indiana office and training facility have been undergoing a big expansion. The training facility will open later this week, so I thought y'all would enjoy a preview. Here are a few shots. Things aren't fully done yet, so I'll add more (including the outside of the building and the training classroom) later this week.

Enjoy. We're excited for many of you to see it in person -- either at training classes or at Festool Connect!

TylerC,
Do you happen to know what kind of lighting is used in that facility? I'm going to move to another shop and am looking to find some better lighting then the old fluorescent type.

Cleaner

More modern

Yup just like it

We have wheeled stairs. You can barely see see part of it on the far left side of the picture.

Low85es has a LED replacement for florescent ceiling lights - I think the SKU is 595 685,. I am happy with the ones I got.  They cost about $60.  Might be worth a look.

A lot of tools can be stored in a small space. It really works out well for the training classes. At the start of the day, the systainers needed for that days class are taken out. At the end of the day, they are put away.

The systainer wall was used for a room divider in the old training room.

Thanks for the replies, That's probably what I'm looking for. Now to know how many is needed?

After getting through the pictures, I see they'll send a trial fixture for 60 days. Later will advise the number I need for my area.
At $400 each I may do that.

Thanks again, Great group
