The Zombotech Corporation is a large commercial/industrial business organization featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Headquartered in the Downtown district of San Fierro, San Andreas, its building is one of the largest and distinctive in the district; featuring an accessible glass foyer and a colossal decorative sculpture shaped after a double helix at the center of the building. The corporate logo also represents a DNA helix.

The Zombotech Corporation attempts to soften its sinisterness and inhuman corporate image by posting the following inscription on its lobby entrance: "Zombotech Sinister Zombie Virus Research Corporation Welcomes Visitors!". However, no pedestrians can be seen walking inside the building lobby.

Towards the rear are elevators that lead to different levels of the building, with some marked as an entry to a zombie lab. One sign clearly shows an elevator shaft leading to an underground level that would presumably house the lab.

The headquarters is featured in the mission Jizzy, where Carl Johnson is ordered to drop off one of Jizzy B.'s girls in front of the building. During this mission, Jizzy claims that the building is a hotel. It is unknown whether or not there actually is one operating in the building alongside the corporation, the Zombotech Corporation building is actually just a themed hotel, or it is simply a mistake by the developers.

A Sparrow can be found on the roof of the building after completing Learning to Fly, although the roof is only accessible with the Jetpack or an aircraft.

Trivia

• Zombotech Corporation is most likely a parody of the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil video game series. Also, based on the signs around the elevators there appears to be a large underground facility reminiscent of NEST from Resident Evil 2 and The Hive from the 2002 film.
• In the shared 3D Universe title Manhunt 2, it is mentioned that Doctor Daniel Lamb studied virus research at the University of San Fierro circa 1985 before working on biological weapons manufacturing for The Project. It is not specified whether Daniel was ever linked to this virus research corporation.
