You could make the top part hold all the machines, and the bottom area some test pen for people or something. Or maybe shove other miscellaneous stuff there. Seriously, R&D looks like a clusterfuck when you build the nanite machines there, and robotics doesn't have any free real estate either.

Every map has a room for the experimentor, which was shoved in because telescience was removed. We're getting nanites, and both R&D and Robotics are full as it is. Dump the experimentor lab and dump the nanite stuff in there instead. Room gets some use, other rooms stay tidy. 10/10 fund it
