The main objective of C.F. Møller's award-winning design proposals was to create architecture that encourages interaction between different professional fields and disciplines and laboratories with ample natural lighting, which are flexible in relation to meeting future needs.

From the outside, the building is a compact, hexagonal structure with clear airiness and purity of line. Every part of the building, from research environments to student activities, faces the atrium at its geographical centre. In more senses than one, this is the heart of this four-storey building.

By concentrating our work on the building's floor layout, every floor has a so-called "Open Space Layout". The laboratories' shape and function are not pre-defined. The building is essentially made of laboratory zones with mobile interiors, which can be adapted optimally to meet users' requirements and make the laboratories adaptable to future requirements. On each floor there are spaces along the lines of human flow for spontaneous meetings and informal exchange of ideas, which will promote new links and ideas in the world of research.
