The design reflects the idea of ‘seeing the science’, whereby the form of the building reflects the inner workings and functions.

Office space, dry labs and write up areas offering optimal connection to the lab spaces can be accommodated at the ends of the labs or adjacent to and along the length of the labs. At the lower levels, the heart of the facility and social spaces are delineated clearly, with a two storey cafe space opening to a large external garden and recreational area.
