InGen was founded by billionaire John Hammond in 1983, with mostly Japanese contributions. In 1985 Hammond started to design and construct "Jurassic Park", a zoo-like tourist attraction on the island of Isla Nublar off the coast of Costa Rica. "Jurassic Park" would be the first zoo in the history of the world to have living, breathing dinosaurs as the attractions. In addition, Hammond created a research facility on "Site B" (featured in The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III). Although Hammond was the leading man behind InGen, the real "brains" of the project was a man named Norman Atherton, who had died before Hammond started the company due to terminal cancer. He was replaced by his best student, Henry Wu. A billionaire is a person who has a net worth of at least one billion units of currency, such as United States Dollars (USD), Pounds or Euros. ...

Known facilities

InGen Headquarters Building

Status: In use
The building is actually in downtown San Diego where all orders are carried out on. This is also the headquarter of InGen Securities and Bioengineering. There are no known laboratories in this place but rather a business area and security center.

InGen Isla Nublar Facility (Also known as Jurassic Park)

Status: Dismantled
This facility which is 120 miles from Costa Rica was planned to be a theme park proposed by John Hammond. But instead of being like most theme parks it was more like a Safari tour Zoo. However it does have most items like a track, visitors center, and tour program. Even though the company knew there were some flaws the project was still continued. But after the crisis on this island the facility was abandoned and the island was quarantined but is still heavily secured in order to make sure there are no remaining dinosaurs. // Isla Nublar is the fictional island on which dinosaurs were held in Jurassic Park. ...

InGen Isla Sorna Facility (Also known as Site B)

Status: Abandoned
When InGen made Jurassic Park the company needed a place to make and mature the dinosaurs. So under Hammond's request the company took over Isla Sorna,an island 87 miles away from Isla Nublar. On this island they made a heavily secure laboratory where all the original work was performed and after the dinosaurs were matured they were transported to Isla Nublar where they were to be kept till their death. After Hurricane Clarissa hit the two islands, all personnel were evacuated from the island and the facility was later abandoned. When the personnel left the island the dinosaurs had escaped the laboratories roaming on the island where they have made a very prehistoric habitat. Since the island was evacuated, the island was nearly forgotten and nobody went back to see what happened. In 1997 A group of British sailors on a private Yacht cruise had stumbled across this island thinking they were on a Chain of islands connected to Costa Rica rather than 120 miles away from the mainland that was owned by a company. A girl who wandered off was later attacked by some reptiles re-awaking InGen about the island. In the end of The Lost World: Jurassic Park the island was turned into a dinosaur preserve. Peter Ludlow sent a team to Isla Sorna on his request to capture and transpot the dinosaurs back to san diago where Ludlow had finished building a mainland Jurassic Park. The team failed and were virtually destroyed by velociraptors and t-rex while trying to evacuate the island, there were only a few survivors and left many peices of expensive equipment behind. The failure of Ludlow's team left Ingen embarassed and with countless law suits on their hands as many team members were killed. Ludlow died in the events after Isla Sorna which involved San Diago and followed on from the failure of the team. Ingen never tried to use the islands again and kept them under high security.
