The 250,000-square-foot building consists of more than 85 specialty retail shops. Entertainment options include a 65-foot Ferris wheel inside the store, a 16,000-gallon aquarium, and interactive games and simulators for the entire family. The store also features Ginna’s café. In the employee-only area of the store, meeting rooms feature the technology and flexibility to host a variety of meetings and training. R.L. Engebretson coordinated every aspect of the multi-phase project, with attention to mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and security needs throughout the design.

SageGlass was an important asset of the store. Rich Wiemken, Principal at R.L.Engebretson, comments:

“Colorado has a lot of daylight hours and many clear-sky days with bright sunlight. Because we were doing a grand atrium, large skylight, curtain walls and clerestories in this location, SageGlass makes up almost every piece of exterior glass in the building. SageGlass was also used in the employee break room area that faces east. SageGlass gives the store a nice, clean look … We didn’t want tinted glass at all times. At night, you really want clear glass so everyone can see into the store and the atrium becomes a distinctive beacon.”
