Other Consultant refers to other organizations which provided significant consultation services for a building project (e.g. wind consultants, environmental consultants, fire and life safety consultants, etc).

Devon Energy Center creates a focal point for the company and Oklahoma City by integrating civic-scaled spaces as a vital component of its overall development. It consolidates Devon’s Oklahoma City–based workforce into a single state-of-the-art facility with numerous amenities.
The three-sided tower evolved in part from Devon’s desire to not “turn its back” on any part of the city. Its orientation and placement provide southern exposure to the park while minimizing solar gain. Its form resulted in highly efficient tripartite floor plates averaging 28,000 square feet that accommodate up to 12 full-corner offices. Responsive to the theme of a “right to light” for all occupants, the 10-foot floor-to-ceiling glazing allows daylight deep into the Tower as well as expansive views. All perimeter offices have floor-to-ceiling glass to maximize daylight. The curtain wall consists of continuous high-performance clear glass with a low-E coating that maximizes daylight, while also reducing heat gain.
With a highly articulated structure, the Rotunda is a grand civic-scaled space with glass walls, a series of balconies, and sky-lit roof. It regularly serves as a venue for special events. Unifying the entire complex within the city, the jewel-like Rotunda symbolically and literally connects the cardinal directions, punctuating the urban axis of Harvey Street. The Rotunda provides 12,522 square feet (1,163 square meters) of welcome assembly space and has hosted fund-raisers, holiday balls, corporate dinners, and civic gatherings.
The Podium contains training and meeting spaces as well as visitor and occupant services. A promenade extending its length creates a glazed day-lit interior corridor. At street level, it provides public access to various amenities, including restaurants, and includes a series of indoor seating areas for dining and overlooking the park.
Defining an urban edge, the Auditorium is a prominent, but intimately scaled, multi-use venue for both corporate and public events. Although nestled into the landscaped park, its strong presence activates street life and supports the downtown’s vitality, while providing dramatic views of downtown and Myriad Botanical Gardens.
The building is among the largest LEED-NC Gold-certified buildings worldwide. The chosen site has direct access to public transit. Construction of the building minimally impacted the natural environment by diverting 68,000 tons (61,669 metric tons) of waste and concrete from landfills and recycling 100 percent of a demolished parking deck on the site. The building also performs well operationally. Potable water consumption is reduced by 50 percent through landscape design and irrigation; overall water use is reduced by 40 percent. Energy use is modulated by district cooling with on-site co-generation, personal comfort control for 50 percent of occupants and personal lighting control for 90 percent of occupants.
