The client had a mission to build the laboratory with no contributions to greenhouse gases or climate change.
Curtins achieved this, creating the world's first chemistry lab to be Net Zero Carbon. The centre was built using a timber frame with solar panels and a strikingly beautiful green, curved roof.
