Martin Henn, Design Principal at HENN, explains: "Freed from a classic division of function and space, a connected working world of labs, communication areas and offices emerges — a shared world of knowledge for the laboratory of the future."

On the open floor plans of the upper storeys, labs and offices merge into one connected working world. The lab areas sit opposite one another along two outer sides of the building. Between them unfolds the world of knowledge — office space and shared communication areas for both professional and informal exchange among staff. By linking the flexibly divisible rooms horizontally and vertically across floors, the building activates the synergies and potential of its working processes.
