LAB 942 will be an energy-neutral building with a minimal use of materials. It will also feature a modular framework and a circular main construction made out of recycled and recyclable material.
As the construction can be easily disassembled, the building would be flexible in its daily use and can be easily adapted to changing demands.
The LAB 942 will be increasingly used in collaborations with businesses and the private sector. Therefore, such activities would require a building that is open to society and the surroundings.
It will consist of a light grid structure, with a variety of materials such as wood, glass, steel and 3D-printed textures.
