CREJ

/ BUILDING DIALOGUE / DECEMBER 2016

heads-down focus work, large and small gatherings or meet-

ings, as well as serving as a social hub for collaboration and

culture building.

More space is being devoted to collaboration and innova-

tion, putting the need for agility and flexibility at an all-time

high. Residential influences have emerged along with a de-

sire for “uniqueness” in the workplace.

Employers need to be able to find the right combination

of agile workplace furnishings and architectural products

(things like walls, technology and flooring can have a big

impact on the way a space functions). They need support fig-

uring out where to invest for maximum impact and longev-

ity well into the future. They also need to understand how

furnishings can work in a smarter building environment

geared toward sustainability. In short, they need expertise

and some serious product knowledge.

That is exactly what we aim to provide with the new Dis-

covery Center (showroom) in LoDo.

By owning the space, we were able to transform the show-

room to meet the needs of different clients, providing val-

ue as more businesses flock to Denver and new demands

emerge.

A first-of-its kind showroom, and one of the largest of

its kind in the nation, our Discovery Center provides com-

prehensive workplace solutions from hundreds of the top

manufacturers, showcasing modern workplace concepts

and planning methodologies. Within the space, 35 different

types of meeting spaces are shown, along with 75 feet of op-

erable walls, 44 flooring and wall finishes, 200 different an-

cillary furniture pieces, local artwork, and custom graphics
