The nature of the firm’s research and discovery process is improvisational. Scientists and professionals hired by this company prefer to work without barriers, allowing for an uninhibited exchange of information. To accommodate this approach to science, the different research disciplines share lab space. Huddle rooms and conversational niches are provided within the secure research facilities, and also among the desk/office areas.
