Scenario Learning LLC, the Cincinnati-based developer of safety and compliance solutions for schools and workplaces, announced its relocation to Keystone Parke in Norwood. The move accommodates the need for more space on account of staff growth resulting from record-setting sales and expansion into international markets.
Brian Taylor and Greg Estep founded Scenario Learning in 2004 as a two-person, self-funded startup in the
Hamilton County Business Center incubator. As parents and entrepreneurs, Taylor and Estep shared a passion for making schools safer. The pair started with one product, the SafeSchools Online Staff Training System, for K-12 schools.
“The core business has been going like gangbusters,” Taylor says. “We’ve been at about 43 percent year over year growth so we needed a new home that could accommodate all the current and projected growth. We also wanted to be closer in to the city.”
In the past year, Scenario Learning has added over a dozen new employees, bringing its grand total up to 48. Taylor expects that number to increase by about 10 in 2015 with the expansion of their business internationally. With the move from their previous Silverton office space, they wanted to create a space that they and their employees would be happy to work out of.
“We really have to compete for technical talent in this city,” Taylor says. “Having an office that is modern and visually stimulating is paying dividends for us.”
The company moved into the new space in Keystone Parke in June. The building has eco-friendly features, which were important to Estep and Taylor in their decision to relocate. It is a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) registered development, a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices.
