@AbandonedAmerica I worked in that building for many years, and it is the place that gave me permission to despise a certain type of celebrated mid-century architecture.

Stunning from the outside and from the atrium, but utterly dehumanizing as a creative working environment. Alcatraz-style layout, with identical, windowless offices. The great work that was done there was done in spite of the place (or at other Labs locations).

The perfect set for "Severance", though.

@AbandonedAmerica @jeremyepstein @SteveBellovin The atrium and exterior was gorgeous, in that mid-century modernist way.

The problem was the office layout. All the office corridors were perpendicular to the outer glass walls. and ran maybe 10 offices deep between an outer (by the exterior wall) and inner (by the atrium) corridor.. So other than what spilled in from the transoms above each office door, there was almost no natural light in any workspace.
