Forty Two Hundred West Jemez Road is the first building at the new Los Alamos Research Park. This 83,000 gross square foot building features "Tech Shell" design that enhances the flexibility of the building to accommodate a broad range of research and development uses. The building features steel beam construction, poured concrete floors, and a masonry finish. It is situated on 44 acres of pine forested property that features panoramic mountain views in all directions, trails, wildlife habitat, a formal outdoor commons, and even a small wetland area. The building, situated on the rim of Los Alamos Canyon, is located immediately adjacent to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the world’s largest and most accomplished multi-disciplinary science and research resources. Thousands of scientists and dozens of research facilities including a research library are located within walking distance. Initial tenant activities in the building include a Superconductivity Technology Center, a supercomputer development effort, a Motorola Laboratories site, and a coffeehouse/café providing informal meeting place. The Tech Shell attributes allow the building to offer space capabilities exceeding those of a typical office building:
