EMC Insurance to take Weather Data space

EMC Insurance, which has been at 245 N. Waco in the Farm Credit Bank Building for 16 years, is going to take most of the space Weather Data is vacating this fall.

“As we’ve expanded over the last five to 10 years, we were lucky that the bank had space available, but we’ve ended up with several pockets of space,” says Bernie Zalaznik, EMC’s resident vice president.

The new space will allow the company to consolidate. Instead of having employees in five areas of the building, they’ll now be in only two.

EMC has 31,000 square feet at the building. The company will lose some of its existing space in the consolidation but acquire about 2,000 additional square feet.

“We really wanted to stay here, and we’re glad we were able to make this work out,” Zalaznik says. “We think it’s one of the best places to be in Wichita.”
