The restored complex now becomes a lab for measuring the intangibles of creativity and social interaction. The designers re-used many of the former lab benches and equipment for the new offices. The design uses colour-coding to differentiate between teams within the open-plan space. Some walls are left unfinished so that employees can add writing and artwork to them. The Facebook website itself was used to consult employees about the new design and to keep them up to date about it’s development.
