One thing that it nice about having the buildings all themed is that it helps you keep track of where you are. You will remember if you passed through here before.
Everyone talks about the banana.
It's been a huge hit with the staff from HealthEast and many people have gotten their picture sitting on it. From far away it looks cool enough but then when you get closer and see what it is made of it gives a whole new meaning to 'cool'.
Can you imagine how long it must have taken someone to cover this banana?!
Each building has it's own theme. Every detail is perfect, down to the carpet in the staff areas.
Here is the tree house. It is equipped with white boards and staff can reserve this space.
It's a way for them to get away from everyone else, their cell phones, their computers, etc.
The employees are encouraged to live healthy lifestyles. There is no smoking on the campus and their employee cafeteria is color coded. The green areas are the most healthy foods all the way to red (which would contain the french fries and burgers).
We spotted this sign while walking through- Soda is $0.75 but the refill is $1.50
There was an area called Grand Central Station. Here there was a General Store that staff could buy snacks or other types of things from, a dry cleaner, a flower shoppe, and an Epic merchandise store.
Didn't see anyone working in these areas so not sure how the flower shoppe and dry cleaner works but the General Store and Epic store do not have employees that work there.
When staff are ready to 'check out' they approach the computer and then scan and log their purchases. No cash transactions are done- all payroll deduction.
There is also an Ice Cream/Soda fountain and deli that work this same way. However the Soda Fountain has employees there to make malts and scoop ice cream but it is all volunteer. Staff sign up to take an hour of their day to work there to serve their employees.
One of the walkways is set up to look like a subway- they even have a homeless lady, Opal.
She never leaves the Subway but the employees do have fun with her. Sometimes she is sitting, sometimes she is laying on the seats, sometimes she's under the seats- guess it just depends how rough her night was.
You can see why most of the employees here are under 30 and why Epic continuously is recognized as being one of the best companies to work for.

That place sounds soooo cool. I love that banana - and the color coded eating area - I mean, we all know that burgers and fries are "red" foods, but what a visual reminder to make you think about it twice. Like like like! :)
That campus is nuts...a little over kill with the food shaming and such, but definitely more fun than your typical office building!
