The multi-functional building includes laboratories for research in field of solid particles physics, a lecture hall with capacity of 300 listeners, classrooms for postgraduate students and offices for researchers.
The new building has a simple U-shaped outline above ground, which surrounds an unroofed outdoor yard. The architects developed a simple white box concept with contrasting black recessed yard. The simple shapes and clear colour scheme are surrounded by extensive greenery, including climbing plants. In several places, daylight is allowed to penetrate into the interior of the building through facade and roof skylights.
A part of the site has been landscaped with planting of herbs, trees and shrubs. The park is not fenced and allows public access.

A major benefit for the Institute of Physics is the number of specialised laboratories for primary research in the field of particle physics. Mechanical ventilation and air conditioning system provides stable indoor environment in the laboratories. Selected laboratories are of a higher cleanroom standard with positive pressure ventilation to prevent admission of dust particles from the external environment, supplemented by entrances via airlocks. The biological laboratory cluster is remarkable for its stainless steel wall finishes and the negative pressure ventilation system, which is designed to prevent any escape of airborne agents from the laboratory. There are 19 different types of technical gases distributed to the individual laboratories, which are monitored for safety reasons by a separate detection system connected to the emergency air extraction system in a non-explosive design.
