With the help of Interface, this collaboration facility was created as a unique and modern gathering place for the scientific community. This high-tech venue includes a large main concourse, multiple large dividable conference spaces, offices, food service area, and a separate badging facility. Interface Engineering assisted in designing a space where researchers can collaborate with government officials, as well as academic and industrial partners to discover new and innovative solutions to complex issues. The facility was built with the ability to accommodate both smaller and larger groups (450+) and is within walking distance of PNNL’s research facilities.
