The building is conceived as a singular form sitting on the edge of the campus completing the composition of the campus buildings. Clad in shear stainless steel composite panels on 3 elevations the simplicity of form plays upon the rigours of an engineered approach and the materiality of the machines inside. The single glazed elevation remains opaque giving an air of intrigue whilst animating the space between the buildings.
