Red Rock Consulting has moved into a 2,200 square foot office/shop facility located in Highwater Business Park at 7042 Highwater Circle, Suite B,  in Edmond, Oklahoma.  After spending some quality bonding time with 3 employees in a home office, the company is enjoying some much needed space.  The space is well warranted with the addition of another new employee on December 6.

The new office features individual offices with reception, kitchen, gym and shop areas.  The office was built out especially for RRC.  The layout and interior design was provided by Red Prairie Design Group. 

Stop by and see us!
