This large building consolidated the research activities in a number of other buildings. The plan on all seven floors is identical (except for the entry level) with work and office spaces on the perimeter and service and mechanical operations at the center. The brick facade relates to the adjacent medical facilities as well as Romanesque buildings at the center of the campus.The front facade from above | ||
