We often times, when planning an informal meeting say to each other "hey, let's meet in Australia" or "meet me in China"! We can go outside anytime without leaving the building Having lots of sunlight all year round has a tremendous positive affect on general attitudes each day We have lots of respect for the gardens and if we see a plant or tree that needs some minor attention, we make sure we tell the "plant people"...... Acquaintances or other professionals that I meet out and about in Boston, when I tell them I work at GC say "you work in that green building?! Gee, aren't you lucky"! Not a day goes by when we don't say to each other, "this is a great environment to work in"...... When candidates come in for job interviews, the FIRST thing they say is "wow, you have trees inside this building"?

The open atmosphere exposes employees to one another and invites them to get up and away from their desks/offices.

There is a great photo gallery that takes you inside the building. I have been to the Genzyme Center a number of times and it really is an amazing facility.
