The research building is located on the grounds of the Leibniz University Production Technology Centre in Garbsen near Hanover. It has a rectangular floor plan measuring 17 m x 65 m, consisting of a hall area and a head building. The head building has three storeys and was erected as a conventional in-situ concrete structure. The hall building is mainly one or two storeys high and consists of prefabricated elements and in-situ concrete structures. There are two single-storey unroofed atriums. The hall area was constructed as a skeleton structure and divided into three hall aisles, each 22.5 m wide and running the entire hall area. Between the hall aisles are intermediate 3.75 m broad areas.
