An ideal landing spot for companies with large footprints, BRiC is currently home to 36 tenants including Bluegreen Vacations, Modernizing Medicine and MDVIP.

Will Boca make a comeback as a high-tech hub? Not for lack of trying. The personal computer was born in Boca at IBM’s former complex here that peaked at 10,000 employees in the ‘80s? Reborn as Boca Raton Innovation Campus, BRiC has teamed up with the historical society and experts for three virtual Tech Talks on the city’s past and future as a technology center.

“We look forward to welcoming our customers to our new Canon Americas Customer Innovation Center and showcasing Canon’s latest advances in inkjet technology and print solutions,” said Shinichi Yoshida, executive VP and GM, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “When safe to do so, we are excited for employees to take advantage of all the BRiC has to offer, including a bigger and better employee workspace design to enhance creativity, collaboration, and productivity.”

BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) — Some Palm Beach County parents are facing a difficult predicament with childcare as summer begins. At the same time that many workplaces are beginning to end work-from-home practices, many kids are now finding themselves home without school work or other organized activities like camps and sports to occupy their time. Beginning next week, the YMCA will begin hosting some camps at the "Boca Raton Innovation Campus" otherwise known as the "BRiC" building off of Yamato Road. That camp will serve children of "BRiC" employees, but Hagensick says he's still searching for more space to expand other summer camp programs.

It also has offices in Roseville, Calif., and Santiago, Chile — the result of two acquisitions.

It had been many years since I had visited the old IBM campus in Boca Raton. I had forgotten how big it was and what a large role it had played in the economic life of Southern Palm Beach County. At its height, more than 10,000 IBMers worked on the picturesque campus and down Congress Avenue in Delray in the Arbors buildings. It was a remarkable era. Those memories came flooding back when I attended an event last week at the site which is now known as BRIC for Boca Raton Innovation Campus.

Not only is its inventor, Dr. Dave Bradley, a question to a final Jeopardy answer in 2002, but he is also one of the “original 12” who built the personal computer. These two legacies have propelled Bradley (or Dr. Dave as many IBMers affectionately call him), into a cultural icon of sorts.
