The cornice height of the existing neoclassical barrack dominates
the height of the new building, limiting the total building
height to three floors on the administrative and laboratory
wings, and to two floors on classroom wings.The result was
a building sitting next to the historic barrack with roof
height in harmony with it and with modern touches. The modular
plan provided flexibility in terms of future development and
easy manipulation of the wings to avoid cutting of trees.
Construction costs were lowered by employing a lightweight,
steel, vaulted roof structure, pre-manufactured beam and insulated
roof panel system.
