Research facilities

Rent our research and meeting spaces 

Need a space that works as hard as your team does? Our custom-built research and conference facilities are designed to support high-stakes innovation. Whether you’re running a UX study, testing new product designs, hosting a strategy session, or launching a market research initiative, we’ve created an environment that helps you collect better insights and make smarter decisions—fast. 

Designed to deliver real-world insights

We didn’t just build rooms. We built spaces that feel real. From simulated hospital rooms to living rooms and full test kitchens, our flexible test suites allow your teams and participants to interact naturally—so the data you collect reflects how people behave in the real world. 

You can observe sessions live through one-way mirrors and video feeds, or check in remotely via secure web conferencing. Our facilities also include breakout rooms and private lounges to keep teams focused and comfortable throughout the day.
