Dr. Chris Scolese, The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Administrator, gave a congratulatory speech. The open house event was attended by well over 100 guests.

Cadence Group is proud to support the mission at NASA as the prime contractor assisting and having participated in the design of the GIC2 . The GIC2 has expanded exponentially with its reopening on March 16, 2016, as the article goes on the say: "foot traffic to the facility increased by more than 300 percent compared to a similar period before the renovations, and information and research requests increased by more than 50 percent" (https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-17-064/fedlink-announces-annual-awards-for-federal-librarianship-2/2017-05-05/) Cadence Group is honored to have a part in this success, from our support of the increased traffic and increasing research occurring at the GIC2. Cadence Group looks forward to watching the GIC2 continue to grow as we assist NASA in the years to come.

Gene Major, MS, MSLIS, Cadence Group's Program Manager for the Information Sciences and Library Services contract for the GIC2: "It has been an honor to have the opportunity to participate in a team to conceptualize, design, and implement the renovation of the Goddard Library into the GIC2. One of the primary goals of the team was to ensure that the Library space and functionality was seamlessly integrated into the collaboration space. The GIC2 is enormously successful as evidenced by increased traffic, many hosted events and meetings, small collaboration groups, as well as increased Library usage."
