Use any one of the eight conference rooms throughout the building. Having an even bigger meeting? Touch one button to roll up the conference room walls to create enough space for forty or more. (If you want to have a meeting on the fly, just grab a dry erase marker and start writing on the walls! Everywhere you turn, you’ll always be close to the incredible collaborative tool-the white board. We installed dry-erase material throughout the building to foster collaboration.)
As a growing company, you may need short-term space for special projects. Both the configuration of the building and our leasing options give you the choices you’ll need.

NEXT Is Collaborative
When a group of NEXT member companies gathered to discuss their facilities needs, they realized they wanted more than a building. To reach their goals, they needed a space where other innovators were busy exploring and sharing new ideas. Together, they crafted the NEXT Innovation Center—a place where a community could thrive, a place built to stimulate collaboration.
The tenants’ spirit of collaboration is reflected in the variety of gathering places throughout the Center: two conference rooms on the lower level, and six conference rooms on the upper level which have moveable walls to accommodate meetings from a handful to forty or more.
Surrounding each office are impromptu meet-up areas where you can gather to “bounce an idea off” a fellow innovator.
You can take advantage of two Nintendo Wii rooms for intense competition and thought-provoking dialogue.
The community café is conveniently located and thoroughly equipped for robust conversation.
Anywhere you walk in the Center, you can take advantage of being in the middle of a community of thinkers, creators, business builders, by stopping to sketch out ideas, challenges, or whatever your next-thing is, on the walls, which have been equipped with writeable surface material.
NEXT Is Smart
Throughout the building we utilize advanced technology to make the NEXT Innovation Center efficient, safe, comfortable, and easy to use. From the digital access entrances to lights that sense the level of available sunlight and adjust output accordingly, smart technology is a hallmark of NEXT – reflecting the personality traits of its members!
