Promega公司的全新工作空间很好地反应了公司的包容协作文化，以人为本创造了促进创新意识的特别环境，Connect – The labs at Promega是实验室，在这里人们可以享受到阳光，同时感受到光线充足的中庭，这里有着自然植物、水景，以及原创艺术品，整体构成了一个促进健康提升的环境，在这个独特的空间里，人们可以更好地进行实验。

The new workspace at Promega reflects its inclusive, collaborative culture by placing people at the core and creating a distinctive environment that inspires invention. Labs that Connect – The labs at Promega enjoy access to natural light and views into a sunny atrium filled with natural plantings, water features, and original art, creating an environment that supports personal well-being. The result is a unique environment, remaking the mold in laboratory settings.



前沿空间——为了确保Promega公司能够更好地应对未来的发展，所有实验室中大约有30%的空间都属于前沿空间，这里主要用于创新各种新技术，中庭包含有咖啡厅和“第三空间”，人们可以在这里会面交流，“浮桥”强调了各个部门之间的联系，从而激发了新策略的构成。

Frontier Space – To ensure that Promega is prepared for an unknown future, 30% of the overall laboratory square footage is “frontier space,” set aside for innovation and exploration of new technologies that are yet to be imagined. In Constant Motion – The airy atrium houses cafes and “third” spaces to meet or just cross paths, “floating” wood bridges, reinforcing connections across departments to spark and advance novel ideas and new approaches.





加速创新——科学家们能够更加灵活地应用各项实验工具和设备，减少障碍，促进研发，这里的实验空间比Promega公司现有的实验室要多出一倍，这给科学家们带来了极大的便利与灵活，满足了实验需求，同时保障科研项目不会因为空间和设备而受影响。

Accelerating Discovery – Scientists have ready access to lab tools and equipment that remove barriers and help speed research. With lab space effectively doubled from the company’s existing lab space, Promega scientists are offered optimal flexibility to meet the needs of their experiments and guarantee that research is not limited by the availability of space or equipment.





实验室里的合作——为了促进联系，实验室设置有内部合作空间，目的是促进快速的讨论，艺术也融入与建筑之中，从而构成了艺术馆的空间感，同时也激发了解决问题的新视角，健康与活力空间来源与一个全新的餐厅，这里提供新鲜的食物，并且还有这花园和健身房，以及声疗工作室，员工们在一天的各个时间段都能够有独特的放松方式。

In-lab Collaboration – To inspire connection, labs have internal collaboration spaces for quick touch-down discussions. Encouraging New Perspectives – Surrounded by art – unique works are integrated into the building, creating a gallery feel and inspiring new perspectives in problem-solving and discovery. Healthy and Energizing Spaces – From a new cafeteria that serves fresh, locally grown food from an onsite garden to a gymnasium and a sound therapy studio, employees have varied unique opportunities to refresh throughout the day.
