Food Bank of the Rockies
Slate and 3d-identity partnered with Food Bank of the Rockies to furnish and brand its new 270,000-square-foot headquarters and warehouse in Aurora, Colorado. This purpose-built facility consolidates administrative, warehouse, food preparation, distribution, and volunteer functions into a single operational hub, designed to address growing food insecurity while improving efficiency and supporting future expansion.
Slate delivered flexible workplace solutions for approximately 240 planned office employees, including adaptable workstations, private focus areas, and collaborative settings. The client worked through both our Experience Center and Market Street Showroom to experience furniture options firsthand and vet what they liked for their workstations, offices, and common spaces. This process helped the organization curate a solution vastly different from their previous office of traditional desks, creating an environment that flexes with how people work today. By specifying primarily Steelcase and partner products across all spaces, Slate maximized purchasing volume to deliver meaningful cost savings.
3d-identity brought the organization’s mission to life through experiential graphic design, signage and wayfinding, donor recognition, and branded placemaking. A flexible supergraphic system anchors the building’s identity, pairing a modular grid with food-inspired motifs and expressive “color splash” graphics that energize collaboration zones. Color-coded wayfinding built from authentic materials supports intuitive navigation, while an eight-tier donor wall with colored acrylic panels celebrates generosity and creates a jewel-like effect in natural daylight. Donor-named spaces and volunteer recognition elements round out the experience, designed to grow alongside the organization.
Together, Slate and 3d-identity created a space that supports people, purpose, and community, connecting the organization’s mission with the functional, flexible environment it needs. The result is a headquarters the Food Bank of the Rockies team is proud to share with the community, with room to grow for years to come.
“The talented people we worked with at 3D-identity brought genuine interest and enthusiasm to our project. This created a space that truly encompasses our brand and mission. Their expertise in design and knowledge of not only current building guidelines, but future ones, means we have an ultra-functional home for our organization for many years to come.”
