Challenge

This start-up alternative fuels manufacturing company needed a new research and development laboratory and a way to showcase its product development initiatives to potential investors.

Solution

We designed the space with a a circular, glass-enclosed theater-style auditorium in the center of the company’s new research laboratories, so visitors could observe ongoing research and development activities. By bringing an educational component to the lab, research has become an active part of the brand, inviting public and private peers in science, investors, and employees to engage with the laboratory in a new and dynamic way.
