The small pavilionlike laboratory building for the NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Facility is located on the Uithof Campus of Utrecht University. The twofloor column free laboratory houses eight spectrometers (highfrequency magnets). This influenced decisively the spatial layout of the building, because the radiate force fields these magnets produce may not be disturbed.
The building consists of a single concrete surface, which continues from floor plane into the wall and ceiling. The flipping-over surfaces are constructive and are thus not traversed by a secondary support structure of columns. Windows with integrated sun shading, a silk-screened dot pattern, are placed in office- and laboratory spaces, allowing daylight to enter.
