A tectonic box
On the outside, the building is a black clad mute box with a large guillotine like main door made of steel and yellow translucent polycarbonate. Upon entry through the guillotine door, one arrives into a top lit triple height space lined with mature trees acting as the focus and hub of the center. All main spaces such as the large machine lab, the auditorium, and the multi-purpose hall, look onto this atrium that includes the cafeteria, waiting areas, interview pods, and small meeting rooms within it.
