Building No. 39 is a new construction project to enrich the research activities, training, lectures, and practices for the Faculty of Pharmacy.
The building is composed of a 2-line arrangement of 16.7 m principal functions and 9.75 m intermediate space supplementing the principal functions. Structural columns with 2.6 m short-span in the ridge direction add an environmental element that creates a white veil for controlling the insolation from the south. The campus plan on the ground floor provides indoor and outdoor spaces, compartmentalized according to the activities, to allow the students to design their own places.
