The L-shaped form interlocking and superimpose with a semi-circular one, which creates a pie-shaped landscaped courtyard space in between allowing light into extra portions of the building, which is set into the sloping site.
The two geometrical forms were clearly defined as clean / dirty zones where eight laboratories for veterinary experiments, two level-3 bio-safety laboratories with support facilities were allocated accordingly.
Services rooms were located at one wing of the L-shaped block and the administration offices were scattered at the corners of both geometrical forms.
The building was planned for maximum energy efficiency during the design stage with the application of numerous sustainable design strategies and design features. Ii resulted with a very favorable figure - The Overall Thermal Transmission Value (OTTV), which is directly related to the energy consumption within a building, is 20.9 W/m2 which is much lower than the statutory minimum of 30 W/m .
