We are excited to share the completion of Weaver and Company’s office and shipping warehouse tenant improvement construction in Aurora, Colorado.
Weaver and Company is an internationally recognized, top medical supplier for skin prep gels and conductive pastes. Designed by Elsy Studios of Denver, the office and shipping warehouse renovation began with full demolition of 8,750 square feet of interior walls, ceilings, and finishes. During construction, Snyder’s field team was able to keep Weaver’s shipping warehouse fully operational.
“I am very delighted with the final project for Weaver’s new offices,” said David Weaver, president of Weaver and Company. “I enjoyed working with the entire crew at Snyder.”
The tenant improvement interior construction built back new offices with high-end finishes, including new ALUR glass and door systems. In addition, there are custom creative elements throughout the space such as wood clouds to frame the breakroom table. The open ceilings and large glass walls paired with the new finishes create an elevated office experience for Weaver’s employees, guests, and clients.

We’re big fans of great design. In fact, one of our favorite things about being a general contractor is the ability to make 2D plans become the real, 3D spaces that people live, work, and play in. The concept to reality process is humbling every single time.
And offices happen to be where we spend a lot of our time—albeit building them. We’ve written before about what it takes to make an office renovation successful and wanted to celebrate and round up a few incredibly successful office renovations in and around Denver. These spaces inspire us and make our work as general contractors really exciting!
The trend of open concept versus private work space is ever evolving. If you’re interested in learning how this is evolving, check out BisNow’s trend update on designing for office. Not surprisingly, these top five are right on target. A few of these offices were built by other contractors, but we find their design so inspiring that we couldn’t leave them out.

We love their mission! American Cancer Society is on a mission to free the world from cancer. We also love they chose a sustainable lighting package, streamlined their finishes and simplified their look while adhering to their brand.

Design Intent:
The brand new, state-of-the art conference center (2,392 square feet) with seating for up to 100, blazing fast Wi-Fi, and HD projector, and an attached catering kitchen was designed to modernize the amenity set for all tenants in the building while keeping the space comfortable for large gatherings and small business meetings alike.

Size of Renovated Space (in SF):
15,000 sq.ft.
Location:
Historic Root Building, 2410 15th Street, Denver
About the Building:
The historic Root Building was originally built in 1890 using large wood timber column and beam construction. Today, this building is a staple of the Platte Street neighborhood. Home to several commercial outfits, MicroStar Logistics now occupies the second floor and provides beer keg sales, rentals, service, and logistics for brewers.
Design Intent:
Creating a fun and unique working environment while reclaiming the historic look and feel of the character of the building in their space was a challenging and critical part of the design. The original exterior brick walls were exposed along with wood ceiling joists and decking to bring back that historic feel to the space. Custom steel and glass storefront systems for the offices and conference areas, custom furniture pieces and millwork round out a unique experience for both employees and visitors.
What We Love:
Flexible work space allows employees varied options during the day, as well as access to a custom built shuffleboard table, lounge area, and coffee/beer sampling bar for visiting clients. The space is also highlighted by a full tasting bar featuring some of MicroStar’s clients’ brews on tap. The designer chose a custom, wood-barrel stave accent wall in the reception area which pays homage to the company’s mission. Customized design elements and unique use of the space make this office a great space to spend the day.
