This is a combined laboratory and data center space that records the success and failure rates of each procedure while developing new technologies. By studying animal organs, it explores further benefits and inventions related to animal organs.

Visitors can observe “voluntary test subjects” inside the experimental pods through glass, but entry is prohibited.
