As in not the work areas in the building?

I didn’t know there were work areas in the building unless your talking about the lobby area
R

Aperture has one near the lobby. I assume all buildings have one. I know at least 1 other has a work room
R
Resident Jan 4, 2026
Most of the lobbies have one. Aperture has the nicest one that has its own room near the lobby.
