Tour DescriptionFulton Labs at 400 N. Aberdeen is a remarkable combination of innovative R&D lab space, infrastructure and business amenities to optimize discovery. At roughly 420,000 square feet, the tower includes specialized floors with a hybrid of offices and lab spaces. The 34,000-square-foot floor plates are designed for both flexibility and customizability, with column-free layouts, 15-foot-high floor-to-floor spacing, and 56-foot-long width spans. Office windows also integrate a smart-tinted glass that allows for dimming depending on the position of the sun or customized tenant preferences. Two private balconies also occupy each office level, with views facing both east and west. There are many other amazing features of the building that you will see when you tour the space on November 10!
