Black Mesa was an insane confluence of theoretical and practical physics. I mean they're inventing fucking interdimensional travel and handheld laser weapons. Also there's a security guard that jokes to Gordon "looks like you're in the barrel today" which implies everyone on the team takes turns in the suit. That was just Gordon's day; he probably does spend most days in an office somewhere doing math

Or the guard knows some dirty jokes...

It is a dirty joke, one that implies everyone takes turns in the test chamber, aka the barrel.
