The high-tech office can be found on the 15th floor of Legacy Tower, in the CBD's heart at 17th and California streets. It has taken almost three years, $2.5 million and 60 partners to put together the office, which will be open for tours during the next year by the nonprofit Workplace 2010 Inc. The project is a showcase for efficiency, productivity and creativity.

Denver-based RNL Design, the largest architectural firm in the Rocky Mountain region, and OfficeScapes/Scott Rice, the largest commercial real estate office supplier in the region, has created the concept. Project partners include Steelcase Inc., Nortel Networks, Compaq Co., Panja, Digital Roads, Legacy Partners, I-Media World, Haselden Construction and Ove Arup & Partners.

The office is broken into seven specific workspaces. The "playground" is a fun area designed for high-energy dialogue and brainstorming. The space includes toy ray guns, beach balls and a comfortable swinging chair. The allocated "convergence" space is a high-tech meeting area for presentations, training, and education and global communications. The "Info Bar" tries to be as comfortable as a neighborhood cafe and also has high-tech amenities. The dishwasher can be programmed in 20 languages. "Your room" is a spot for quiet solitude. The "campsite" is dedicated to team and collaborative sessions. Home base most resembles a conventional office and is geared to autonomous, individualized work. The technology hub provides an inside look to all the high-tech equipment that normally is hidden from view.
