The Abstergo Philadelphia Facility is an Abstergo facility next to the Delaware River in Philadelphia, United States. Designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, it housed several of Abstergo's divisions, including Historical Research, Lineage Discovery and Acquisition, and Abstergo Medical. The facility also houses the Library & Archive Hall, said to store all of Abstergo's knowledge under impenetrable security.[1]

As of 2017, the facility was overseen by Master Templar Juhani Otso Berg, a member of the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order.[1]

Behind the scenes

The design of the Abstergo Philadelphia Facility building is seemingly based on the headquarters for LegalShield built 2003 in Ada, Oklahoma by Nabholz Construction Company and designed by Minneapolis architectural firm MSR Design. It also shares some design elements with the 2006 reopening of the Guthrie Theater which was in fact designed by Jean Nouvel alongside another Minneapolis based firm, Architectural Alliance.
