The Integrated Refinery Petrochemical Complex is a center for petrochemical innovation that is open to visitors with the aim to promote a better understanding of the industry. Orientation, full-height glazing and landscaping spark inspiration with views of the refinery and the surrounding gardens and ponds. The open plan design, public areas and optimized circulation encourage both structured and spontaneous collaboration. Flexi Labs and supporting functions adapt to correspond with the dynamic nature of research. IRPC’s innovative materials are showcased by incorporating them into the design.
