We spotted this issue of HDT in one of the collaborative areas. That coffee-table top is actually a white board; note the cup of write-on/wipe-off pens.

The building features a living green wall that was installed in the lobby to bring in the natural air cleaning benefits of vegetation absorbing CO2 and this green roof for storm water management.
