}}The '''Bureau of Reclaimed Spaces''' is an institution that assigns new uses to spaces -- often uses that they were not originally built for. It is located between the [[Echo River]] and [[Route 65]] of the {{ZeroLink}}.

== Layout ==

=== Lobby ===
A small dock with a reception desk and a waiting area. Niches in the walls contain clusters of television sets, each depicting different scenes. The [[Bureau of Secret Tourism]]'s phone, answering machine, and brochures sit on the waiting area coffee table.

=== First floor (clerks' offices) ===
The first floor is a relatively average office space. [[Lula Chamberlain]], [[Rebecca Metzstein]], [[Ed Böhm]], and [[Ellen MacMillan]] work at their desks while [[Rick]] idles beside the elevator.

=== Second floor (conference room) ===
The conference room has a projector screen and a table of employees that watch Conway and Shannon as they pass. There's also a water cooler, coffee, and food. In the back is a small kitchen.

On a ledge across from this floor, [[Will]] can be found grilling crab beside a large pipe organ. If the player watches him, he will begin playing [[Music#Act_II|"Bureau of Reclaimed Spaces"]], and lights throughout the building will dim.

Once the lights are out, the conference begins a slideshow of "obscure corners of nameless interiors, astronomical diagrams projecting the distances between celestial bodies, a painting by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_de_Chirico Giorgio de Chirico], a list of 'unpopular anagrams.'"

=== Third floor (bears) ===
The third floor is inhabited by a sleuth of bears that may have previously lived near the [[town]]. They sit among stacks of buckets, watching Conway and Shannon as they pass.

=== Fourth floor (archives and records) ===
The fourth floor is crammed with tall stacks of filing boxes containing records beginning with A, B, C, D, E, and F. All other records are stored in unit C315 of the [[Random Access Self Storage]] facility.

=== Fifth floor (diagrams and drafts) ===
[[Greg]] can be found working on the top floor. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._3_(Beethoven) Beethoven's Symphony No. 3] plays on a skipping record in the corner.
