The two- and three-story buildings provide 563,130 sq ft of space to house approximately 2,000 administrative, research and development, service, and support personnel, who began occupying the areas of the new complex in June 1998. The first building of Phase 2, which will house an additional 1,000 employees, is currently under construction.
"Given the growth our business is anticipating, we needed a new central campus to consolidate all of our Colorado employees in one location and provide space for additional staff," explained Ray Monicelli, project manager for Sun Microsystems. "Our biggest challenge at the outset was establishing a construction program that would ensure that we met the goal of completing the first half-million square feet in under a year."
