LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION

This net-centric experimentation and analysis laboratory develops, models, tests, and simulates defense-related systems and products. The building’s hexagon shape provides six sectors. Four sectors are flexible and reconfigurable, while the remaining sectors contain fixed support spaces. The building is designed around a 65-foot-tall central atrium housing a 56-foot-tall lighthouse structure that serves as the facility’s symbol of vision and innovation.
