The Arch in St. Louis, designed by the famous architect Eero Saarinen (1910-1961), is named the "Gateway Arch" because it represents the gateway to the West. This imaginary gateway in the St. Louis area opened the vast wilderness west of the Mississippi for exploration and settlement. The gateway represents the hope for opportunities and a better life in a new, unknown land.
In addition to what it represents, our fascination with the Arch is its sleek design, its use of top-notch engineering talent, and its employment of lasting materials - concrete and stainless steel. To reach the arch's present state of beauty the engineering and construction teams faced and overcame numerous challenges. With foresight and careful planning, they prevailed.
At IBD Connection we, too, focus on being a gateway for our clients: an opening for new opportunities in new arenas. Arenas, that along with the opportunities, bring new challenges which need to be met before the rewarding results can be enjoyed. At IBD Connection we provide the required support to "cross the Plaines", so that you can seek your goals with confidence. Our resources will "grease your wagon wheels" to avoid setbacks and breakdowns while our experience will protect you from the "bandits along the way".
