Quantum Corporation
Colorado Springs, COQuantum Corporation, a world leader in the manufacture of computer components, built the Colorado Springs facility to accommodate their disk drive assembly needs as well as to provide additional R&D space, offices and warehousing facilities. The initial project was built in two phases. Phase I is comprised of total of 255,000 square feet in two buildings. Phase II is an additional 129,000 square feet in one building.
Design of the campus required consideration of an exit strategy for Quantum, therefore the buildings were designed for a second life as a multi-tenant office complex. All the buildings are connected by pedestrian and materials transport links. These links are designed to blend in with the architecture while the facility is occupied by Quantum. However, the links can be demolished with minimal renovation required to the main structures. This will permit future users to gain a sense of separation from other parts of the campus should the need for connection between the buildings become obsolete.
Built in a fast track sequence (Phase I deadline was 14 months from the start of programming to certificate of occupation), the OZ Design Team (Architect of Record) worked closely with the owner, contractor and other team members to assure information was transferred quickly and accurately without compromising quality of design or construction.
OZ Interiors was responsible for developing the overall interior design concepts and translating the concepts into the built environment. The main office area was accommodated within a floor plate that exceeded 90,000 square feet and office approximately 350 highly skilled engineers. Defining zones for public and private areas, as well as primary and secondary circulation provided guidelines for the space planning effort and gave direction for interior design
solutions.
