The base structure will also have academic learning spaces, a medical library and classrooms of different sizes.

Additionally, the building design consists of an eight-storey office and research tower in the southern quarter.

This tower rises above the academic base structure’s south end. Three floors of faculty offices and another three of shell space are planned for flexible, research support, modular biomedical research and offices.

The building also has two full mechanical floors that provide mechanical services.

For the new building, the university used limestone and precast concrete accents.

Warm brick accents along the first floor acknowledge the use of bricks on existing buildings that are situated next to the new building.

The tower will be covered with a glass and metal curtainwall, thereby allowing unobstructed views.
