Epic, the health software company in Verona, has a unique corporate headquarters. Divided into separate campuses with differently themed buildings, Epic aims to create an environment that is comfortable, sparks creativity, has variety, and results in productivity.
Following up on our 2023 tour of the Wizards Academy Campus, this time we will be taking a tour of the Storybook Campus. The tour will be led by PLATO members Barb Drake and Bob Shaw using Epic's self-guided handouts.
Step into a world where imagination comes alive on a guided tour of the remarkable Epic Storybook Campus. Wander through whimsical buildings inspired by beloved tales and adventures — from Alice in Wonderland and the Land of Oz to the worlds of Jules Verne, mystery novels, science fiction, Grimm fairy tales, and the Chocolate Factory. Along the way, discover stunning artwork, hidden details, playful architecture, and creative spaces that transform an ordinary office campus into an unforgettable experience. Whether you love literature, art, design, or simply exploring unique places, this tour promises surprises, conversation, and a chance to see one of Wisconsin’s most imaginative destinations.
