McMurdo Station–a 58-year-old research center in Antarctica–is finally receiving a sorely needed renovation. Co.Design spoke with the architects.
With glass-walled conference rooms, lounges, and open desk space, the renderings for the renovation of McMurdo Station could be mistaken for those of a state-of-the art office. Employees will be able to take lunch breaks in a communal cafeteria, pick up their mail from the on-site Post Office, stretch their legs in the gym, and get a trim at the barbershop.
