Facebook Building 8 Head Regina Dugan Leaves After 18 Months

The head of Facebook Inc.’s secretive Building 8 lab, Regina Dugan, has left the company to lead a new project, she said in a Facebook post.

Dugan, who Facebook hired from Alphabet Inc.’s Google, was at the company for about 18 months, helping push projects from a video chat device to a way to type from brain waves. She said Tuesday that she will work with Facebook’s leadership over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition.
