Hey T-REXers,
We're teaming up with Purina to bring you a very special virtual “yappy” hour this Wednesday! Not only will we all get to hang out with our 4-legged frandz, but T-REXers and their puppers will also be joined by Senior Scientist and Animal Behaviorist Dr. Annie Valuska and Pet Enrichment Specialist Alex Johnson from Purina. Our new normal doesn't only affect us humans. From increasing indoor activities to reducing separation anxiety, join us Wednesday to get expert tips and best practices for managing work-at-home transitions with your fluffy loved ones.

Facility Re-Opening Update:
As we announced last week, we will begin a limited re-opening of T-REX Coworking starting June 1st. With the City of St. Louis allowing for some easement starting today (May 18th), please be aware that there may be more people entering T-REX private offices even though coworking remains closed. Because of this, starting today all persons entering the T-REX building are required to wear masks in any public areas, including the lobby, hallways, elevators, and elevator lobbies.
We will host a virtual community meeting to discuss in-depth all re-opening policies for all T-REXers next Tuesday, May 26th at 10:30am. All policy updates surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic are also posted on our website, with signage at building entrances & throughout the facility, and updates are announced on our T-REX Slack as well.
