Three separate buildings join as one to bridge the active rail line that divides the site. Equally influenced by the practicalities of vibration sensitive equipment and the elegance of world-class architecture, the structure includes: rigid floor framing for laboratory equipment, built-up plate girders and trusses to transfer loads over the train tracks, cantilevers to support the sculpted atrium, and a thin propped-cantilever roof from which the conservatory glass wall is hung.
