MSI Expands Outdoor Space to Accommodate Grilling Season

As the weather continues to get nicer, MSI expands outdoor space to allow for our annual heated grilling competition.

After a long, seemingly endless harsh winter, there is just about nothing that we Wisconsinites crave more than a little warm, fresh air. Here at MSI we embrace the idea of stepping outside for a few minutes to enjoy the fresh summer air. In order to make this easier for our employees this summer, (and many more to come) MSI has begun construction on a brand new deck that will be attached the break room.

The new outdoor deck will have two French doors that will allow for plenty of sunlight to enter our spacious break room. These doors will also allow MSI employees the opportunity to walk outside and enjoy the breathtaking views that Mequon, Wisconsin has to offer.

It’s Grilling Season!

The brand new deck is expected to be completed within the next week which will allow MSI’s staff to continue their summer grilling series; a friendly competition that is held during the summer months, where employees are split up into teams. Each team is selected to prepare and cook a meal for the staff once a month. At the end of the summer all employees vote on their favorite meal and a new winner is crowned!

With a lot of summer left, we’re excited to take some outdoor breaks and enjoy the new deck!
