"This location is SIMULIA's Global Research & Development Center, home to the brightest minds in 3D simulation. With MPA's help, our goal is to create a space conducive to teamwork to help spark new ideas that can lead to even more business innovation."
With a goal of achieving LEED certification for the entire building, MPA will incorporate sustainable materials wherever possible. Other plans include a large client conference center for training on Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE applications; an employee "hub" that will include a lounge and café for staff; teleconferencing capabilities; and an outdoor soccer field and basketball court. Dassault Systèmes employees will also enjoy the benefits of a new full-service fitness center at Northwoods that will include showers and locker rooms in addition to the office park's new cafeteria.
