In this scene from "The Lost World" by Michael Crichton, the character Dodgson guides another individual to a glass-walled booth located in the building's center. This booth serves as a superintendent's office, where discussions can occur without the distraction of barking noises from the surrounding environment. The glass effectively muffles the sounds, allowing for a more focused conversation.

Additionally, the booth provides a clear view of the many animals outside. The rows of animals are visible through the glass, enhancing the atmosphere of the setting. This combination of sound control and visibility contributes to a unique environment where important dialogues can take place while maintaining a connection to the creatures in their enclosure.
