Although the brick cladding (unusual in Gehry's work) is a link to the staid university buildings nearby, the tilting and bulging forms demonstrate the architect's ability to coax unexpected results from even the most conservative materials. The sense of a building in constant movement is magnified by the roofline's angled planes and the pronounced multistory windows that provide views of the activity inside. State-of-the-art labs are organized along the building's north-south axis; offices occupy the smaller east-west axis. At the center of the cruciform plan, large skylights flood the central atrium, which includes meeting areas for staff.
