The main structure is the concrete load bearing façade, with elevator shafts and staircases as the only load bearing elements inside the building. The concrete in the façade is prefabricated elements with the size 2.400 × 5.200mm. The choice of materials is based on the idea of establishing a building with passive cooling and heating. The exposed concrete on the façade and on each level has thermal mass.
It is designed to house 550 students and about 60 employees with a total floor area of 6032m2.
