Crocs Innovation Campus

Crocs Innovation Campus

Located within Oracle’s Broomfield campus, the 190,000-square-foot space will transform an existing building into Crocs’ “Home for Work.” Plans for the new space will more than double Crocs’ current footprint to accommodate the company’s 450+ new team members. Renovations will emphasize the company’s culture of collaboration and openness, reflecting Crocs’ values of democracy, comfort, and simplicity. 

The design inspiration seeks to maximize opportunities for the Crocs team to collaborate, gather, and team build in the social hubs of the building, including the lounge, huddle spaces, and coffee counters. These features come together to compose a natural flow throughout the space that connects teams across departments, aligning with Crocs’ spirit of partnership.

REDI Lab

REDI Lab

Venture had the privilege to partner with Colorado Academy on one of their signature programs, REDI Lab. We intentionally designed this space to allow students an opportunity for self-directed learning, to harness their Research, Entrepreneurship, Design and Inquiry skills. The key is three interconnected spaces we crafted:

1. Ideation. A large open area whiteboard to think out loud and generate ideas.
2. Cultivation. A series of teaming as well as individual heads down spaces to develop, iterate, and push their work.
3. Presentation. A stadium seating arena for the students to polish and receive feedback on their project pitch from their peers.

Its special design will have a positive impact and bring meaning to its residents and neighbors alike.

Open Table Support Hub

OpenTable Support Hub

Our fifth and largest project for OpenTable Colorado, this project focused squarely on employee recruiting, development, and retention. Their culture was critical to the team’s performance and needed a space to thrive. This led to a space with a wide array of creative, teaming and collaboration spaces. Acoustics were paramount in order to enable these spaces to perform at their highest level. The resulting suite is uniquely tailored to the team and fits well in their post-Covid workplace strategy.

OpenTable Support Hub was awarded the 2023 ASID Crystal Award: Corporate Office or Workplace 15,000 Square Feet & Over category.
