Top left:The two arms of the
building are visible in this
sectional drawing. On the left is
the high-bay laboratory, while
the building on the right houses
three traditional labs and offices.
Centre left:This drawing shows
the northern elevation of the
office and research building.
Lower left:The two linked
buildings enclose a courtyard
for outdoor learning and social
interaction.
Right:The cellular academic
offices are open-topped to
increase ventilation and natural
lighting.
Lower right:The north-facing
photovoltaic array on the highbay laboratory building is angled
for maximum exposure to the
sun. The use of old steel railway
tracks in the framework is one
example of the way recycled
materials are used throughout
the building.
