Feeling Lucky?: Relocating CT Lottery Headquarters


The Connecticut State Lottery Corporation was legalized over fifty years ago and since launching the first scratch game in 1975 it has generated 100’s of millions of dollars to support state services. The organization has a long history of dealing with change and recently they realized that their headquarters had become outdated, prompting the need to transition to a new space.

Their executive team knew immediately that it was going to be a complex project with a critical need for minimal interruption to operations. And with thousands of Connecticut residents playing the lottery each week, ongoing access to the claims center was a necessity.

It was important that they chose a partner who understood their workflow and could build a comprehensive project plan that supported it. A key factor in choosing Meyer was the integrated approach Meyer takes to project management. The key to an efficient and speedy transition required a Meyer team consisting of a project manager, crew supervisors, truck drivers, installers, movers and packers.

Security was an important aspect of the project based on the sensitive nature of some of the contents that needed to be moved. Employees from both Meyer and CT Lottery needed to engage with officials from the Department of Consumer Protection to witness certain aspects of the move.         
             
Meyer focused on the disassembly, relocation, and reassembly of 31 private offices, conference rooms and common areas, as well as the knockdown, relocation, and buildout of all workstations. Although the window of time to complete the work was quite narrow, all CT Lottery departments were fully functional right on schedule including the claims center which began paying out lucky winners almost immediately.
