A classroom with several rectangular gray tables arranged in rows, each accompanied by blue office chairs on wheels. The room has a carpeted floor, fluorescent lighting, and a wall with dark blue-gray sliding panels. A counter with a sink is visible near the entrance on the right.
A double-height office lobby with beige stone-cladded & painted walls, a warm palette, and large windows. The space features a wood reception desk with "Weatherford" logo and title behind, three cream-colored armchairs, plant decor, a multi-colored rug, and a staircase leading to an upper level with a metal railing.

It includes administration and engineering offices, laboratories, a 100-seat multipurpose room, high bay testing, manufacturing, testing laboratory, tech laboratory, and simulator room. It is constructed with concrete tilt wall and steel framing, and a curved layered masonry screen wall frames the limestone veneered two-story lobby and entry.
