“The building design mirrors our approach to molecular modeling, with understanding the current structure in order to guide the integration of new elements,” said Jharrod LaFon, Vice President of Research & Development, Cadence Molecular Sciences. “We prioritized four key functions including focus, collaboration, flexibility, and cultural support to fulfill our unique needs. Our goal was to create a harmonious blend of focused work areas and open spaces, catering to the needs of hybrid teams and our diverse workforce.”
