One employee currently based in the Center is Uri Bombasi, a UX designer
working with an Air Force team. Bombasi said that, if not for the Innovation
Center, his team wouldn't have as many opportunities to collaborate.
"Being accepted here indirectly forced us to come together," he said. "And
then using the tools that they have here like the wireless screens and being
able to connect from wherever you are in the Center, that's helped us not
only to critique but to [improve] the quality of our work."
"I've learned and developed a lot more here than I would in a traditional
workspace," he added.
Bombasi's experience is the desired outcome of the investment that Booz
Allen made in the space.
"We see space as a true asset," said Scherer. "To set the conditions for
innovation, to have project teams come together, and to be able to connect.
This is really the next step in our innovation journey."

"Lowering your real estate costs can
give you a space like this, because
you're reinvesting the savings in the
'wow' factor."
