The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) is the primary tenant of Building 67, presently occupying approximately 90% of the 372,000 usable square foot office building. Building 67 was built in 1967 and is comprised of 14 floors and a penthouse. The consolidation of employees within Building 67 also includes the relocation of BOR personnel currently residing in other locations within the Denver Federal Center.
