The building’s situation amid public transit and biking infrastructure already encourages “active design,” but the project enhances this with an onsite fitness facility and several attractive stairways that inspire day-to-day physical activity. Daylighting, mountain views, and outdoor access on terraces and a green roof round out the project’s wellness features.
The project underwent enhanced and ongoing commissioning and has a drastically reduced parking footprint.
Perhaps most intriguing are the beehives located on a green roof, part of an urban beekeeping program designed to benefit the local community.
