This office is a test child for relocations

Her office was the first of several offices moving to a new location. People were anxious, and there was much scruitny placed on the move. The mash up of “poster child” (someone who is the classic example of a type of person) and “test case” (first to have something done to) therefore works perfectly in context, as she was really referring to the office as the first and the blueprint for subsequent moves. A big pat on the back to me for hearing this one!
