The offices are housed on the four aboveground floors, while all teaching areas for the Mathematical Institute are located on the below ground mezzanine level.
Natural light enters the mezzanine from the atrium, where teaching rooms are grouped around the large open space, which serves as a study and social area for students. A cafeteria for students and faculty further encourage socializing and interaction in this open area. To keep teaching space disturbances to a minimum, lecture theaters are acoustically separated from the rest of the building.
A green roof and roof terrace creates additional outdoor space for informal discussion or contemplation, as well as enhancing the sustainability goals of the master plan: the sedum-planted surface increases biodiversity, improves the building’s energy performance and helps control rainwater runoff.
