Braid groups acting on CAT(0)-complexes

As Sam Nead says, $B_n$ contains $\mathbb{Z}^2 * \mathbb{Z}$, and you can find an example the way he suggests. If you'd like something much more explicit, you can simply take the first three standard …

When is a extension of $\mathbb{Z}$ by a free group a CAT(0) group?

You'll find some examples of CAT(0) free-by-cyclics in Samuelson, "On CAT(0) structures for free-by-cyclic groups" and Barnard and Brady, "Distorsion of surface groups in CAT(0) free-by-cyclic grou …
