San Francisco
NBC Internet Inc. (NBCi) will renovate the 80-year-old Standard Oil building for its new headquarters in San Francisco's financial district. The SmithGroup's information-age design features natural sunlight, quickly-reconfigurable mobile furniture, European cooling system, recycled car-tire flooring, translucent, wired cubicle partitions, exposed piping and wiring, operable windows, and a game room. NBCi will move in by year-end to 240,000 sf in the building, occupying 11 floors of the structure.
