The greatest challenge presented to the Architectural Services Department design professionals was how to systematically analyse the operational requirements and house them in a building that fits into the site and yet still is architecturally interesting. A schedule of accommodation for the labs and building services was received from the client and a list of requirements for each room was provided. Volumes of information were subsequently collected and functions were analysed to devise a framework under which the building owners could run services efficiently.

This highly functional and techinical buidling needs clarity in structure to provide a logical framework to tie up tis operational, architectural, structural and building services networks. Its should be simple and clear to provide flexibility and sustainability.
