1500 Jefferson - Wright Runstad

1500 Jefferson, located on the east side of the State Capitol Campus in Olympia, Washington, opened in July 2011. This project for the Department of Information Service (DIS) was the first major construction on the Capitol Campus in the past two decades.

Office/Retail 240,594 net rentable square feet
Data Center 132,503 net rentable square feet
300 structured parking spaces
35 surface parking spaces

The building consists of a six-story L-shaped office building with a three-story west wing that wraps a data center to the north and west. A new two-level, 300 stall underground parking garage serves the complex. Extensive traffic improvements were made for the site, including new commuter-friendly sidewalks, bike lanes and landscaped roundabout at the 14th Avenue and Jefferson Street SE juncture. These improvements create an inviting entry to the State Capitol Campus.

1500 Jefferson was awarded "The Outstanding Building of the Year" ("TOBY") award, in the Government Building category, for both the Pacific Northwest Region and the BOMA International level in 2016.

The building houses several state agencies, including Washington Technology Services, which manages the data center. The office complex offers a conference center with audio visual capabilities, a training center, bicycle parking and showering facility, and a retail cafe.

1500 Jefferson is set within a landscaped environment reminiscent of the Olmstead design used on the remainder of the campus. The office building at 1500 Jefferson received LEED-CS Platinum certification in 2014.
