The Denver Federal Center (DFC) is located adjacent to the foothills of the Colorado Rockies and is only minutes from downtown Denver. Fifty-five federal buildings, totaling four million square feet of rentable space, occupy the 623-acre campus. Agency tenants with facility related questions or concerns should contact (888) 999-4777.

Going Green: The DFC is committed to becoming the most sustainable campus in the United States by the year 2020. To do this, we are working on a variety of projects that allow us to be more eco-friendly. Some of these projects are:

• Replaced 22 regular fuel-powered vehicles with zero emission vehicles;
• Selected by Xcel Energy for a one megawatt solar photovoltaic array power station located on six acres. The power generated by this system would power the equivalent of approximately 145 homes annually;
• Recycled demolished building materials saving approximately $1.5 million dollars; and
• Re-landscaped with drought-resistant vegetation (xeriscaping) to reduce water consumption.
