Environmental Friendly Materials

Foamglas made of recycled glass with low embodied energy is used as the insulation material on the roof.

Linoleum, a chemical-free and biodegradable natural material is used for the laboratory's floor finish.

Concrete carriageway was stained with Lithochrome Chemstain as final finishes to waive the floor finishing works.

External wall finishes were in rustic texture which match with natural surrounding
