Still being completed is a day care center for employees'children. The YMCA will operate the center. Codina DevelopmentCorp. of Miami assembled the design team that had to figure out howto consolidate NCII's staff spread out in three Boca Ratonbuildings. The layout of the structure had to be flexible,worker-friendly and production-oriented.

The consultants were Retzsch Lanao Caycedo Architects and LADesign, both of Boca Raton. For starters, the designers laid outstandard-sized 11 feet-by-12 feet offices for all managementstaffers. Most of the support staff works in eightfeet-by-eight-feet cubicles. The office walls, doors and frontglass panels are demountable for later office space expansion.

Conference rooms are at the heart of NCCI's operations. A mix ofconsultants trade thoughts and information daily. They often had tobook advance conference room time in the past. No more. Instead ofone or two meeting areas, the building has entire hallways ofconference rooms readily available at any time, without advancebooking.
