merce to be a viable competitor, yet far enough away from the hustle, bustle, and smog to make it a desirable place to work. The primary focus of the campus, like that of the company, is electronics and chemical R&D, but a wide variety experiments in just about every field can be found on any given day.

The "airfield" is a full-fledged international airport, fully capable of landing the largest jets around on its three, 2,000 ft. runways. A state-of-the-art air traffic control tower, oversees the coming and goings of freight and personnel. While a set of hangers store SE's large air fleet. The nearby motorpool maintains SE's motor fleet and delivery trucks.

The facility is energy independent, having its own power plant. (Aviation fuel and gasoline are stored in appropriate fuel depots as well.)

Known throughout the world as Stark Industries, Stark International, Stark Solutions, or Stark Enterprises, the Stark brand is a pioneering force of world-changing innovation. A truly global outfit, Stark's holding are centered on two main facilities: the Long Island factory complex and the So Cal facility, which was Stark's center of power for many years.

North of Los Angeles, on prime real estate between Santa Monica and Malibu, sits the West Coast headquarters of one of America's most vibrant corporations. With easy access via the Pacific Coast Highway, as well as a private airfield and a system of interlocking rail lines, the location is ideally suited to provide a wide variety of services and business opportunities: near enough to the hub of Los Angeles com-

Stark, already known for his innovative ecological designs, pioneered commercially viable green architecture with this So Cal campus. He utilized environmentally friendly materials and efficiencies in the design and build of all the structures. The tree-dotted campus's large green spaces make the place seem more like a college than a Fortune 500 HQ. Additionally, with the exception of security vehicles, internal combustion engines are forbidden beyond the parking lots. A fleet of electronic carts and a state-of-the-art monorail system, provide fast, efficient transport.

Notable features include extensive R&D labs (two main clusters: electrical and chemistry centers); general labs; metal processing and fabrication plant and factory complex, towering administration building, security tower; main computer center (adjacent to the software development center); massive warehousing facilities and a rail yard (heavy trucks enter the area via their own entrance and make their way to the warehouses under ground). Employees are also treated to a gourmet cafeteria and a fully equipped gymnasium/health club, and the place is criss-crossed by walking and cart paths.
