The building facilities include a bespoke, state-of-the-art Open Innovation Centre and Community Living Lab in addition to sizeable wet and dry labs encouraging collaboration and open innovation. The main street elevation comprises a natural stone clad sculptural form with deep reveals and fins mitigating the effects of the southern aspect and
