The TCF is OPEN!

Welcome back to the Tantus Collaboration Facility (TCF), which is now open to meet your in-person collaboration needs. 

What is the TCF?
The Tantus Collaboration Facility is a shared workspace for the CCSQ community to foster increased productivity and efficiency through cross-team collaboration. Located immediately outside CMS Headquarters' North Gate, it offers community spaces, team rooms, conference rooms, and amenities to encourage open and immediate communication, team-building, idea-swapping, and problem-solving. The TCF is a workspace that allows team members to come together at open café-tables, sketch out their ideas on our whiteboard walls, use team rooms equipped with audio/visual equipment to connect with remote team members, and collaborate across team silos.

Note, Tantus is following CDC and local guidelines for health safety in the TCF. Before visiting, please visit the TCF Confluence space for Safety Protocols

The TCF is located at our Woodlawn office: 2270 Rolling Run Drive, Suite 100, Windsor Mill, MD 21244

Who can use it?
