Applied Science Hub is an open, bright, and efficient research and development centre, housing state-of-the-art facilities and aiming for LEED Gold certification. Neat and coherent, the volumetric composition contributes to the dynamism of the users' path. The verticality expressed by the curtain wall of the 4 upper floors establishes the pavilion's belonging to the built framework of the campus. The use of the curtain wall thus opens the door to the use of a renewed vocabulary, precursor to this new development on the site, and echoing the avant-garde research taking place in the pavilion.
