Animus Project laboratory

The Abstergo laboratory was a special laboratory built by Abstergo Industries specifically for their Animus project. The Animus device itself was located in a the center of the laboratory, with Warren Vidic's desk located nearby, overlooking the Animus machine. Besides the Animus chamber, the laboratory consisted of other rooms and devices such as a conference room, bedroom, bathroom, and Animus terminal.

Cryptic Messages could be seen throughout room through the use of Eagle Vision.

The landscape outside the laboratory was extremely bright. However, the building housing it was clearly in an urban environment, surrounded by skyscrapers. The laboratory was found on its fourth floor.

Abstergo Offices

During their escape, Lucy and Desmond exited the laboratory and made a path towards its underground parking lot. Similar its the lab, the rest of the Abstergo building was decorated in a modern-industrial style with overhead pipes and ventilation clearly visible, but minimalist detail elsewhere. There were numerous servers and computers found throughout its offices. Several small windows gave a glimpse into the world outside the office, showing a terrace garden surrounding a large part of the building.

As the two Assassins took an elevator down to another floor, they traversed through a floor of cubicles. These cubicles were each sealed with glass doors, although at the time, nobody was working in them. This may have indicated that employees were evacuated from the area once Abstergo learned that Lucy and Desmond were escaping. Furthermore, the pair only encountered security guards. The rows of cubicles also contained several Animus machines.

Trivia

• The building appears to be based somewhere in Vatican City. This is evidenced by the license plate codes in the car park as well as Italian words appearing at both the warehouse hideout and in the basement car park, where an Italian sign states the clearance height for cars and a notice marking Vidic's parking spot.
• The laboratory itself is located in the Research Wing of the building, as confirmed by one of the guards informing security of Desmond and Lucy's escape.
• The Abstergo laboratory appears as a DLC room on PlayStation® Home
