Which term refers to a facility focused on research and development of containment methods?

• A. Storage
• B. Containment
• C. Research
• D. Dimensional (Dim)

Answer: (C)

The key idea is a facility whose purpose is studying and improving how we contain anomalies. In the SCP Foundation, different spaces serve different jobs: storage is for holding objects, containment is for housing SCPs and applying containment procedures, and dimensional isn’t a standard designation for a containment-focused site. The work that involves testing, evaluating, and designing new containment methods fits under research, since it covers experimentation and development of containment prototypes and protocols. Therefore, the term that best matches a facility dedicated to research and development of containment methods is Research.
