Construction of the environmentally-friendly facility will incorporate green features including an estimated 30-35% energy savings through design that maximizes natural light and reduces the need for artificial light.

The facility will also have a rainwater harvesting system for irrigating the surrounding landscape and plants, and an air-conditioning system that improves chiller efficiency and utilises refrigerants with low ozone depletion properties. The building will comply with LEED (Gold) requirements.
