<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The striking 100 m long bar of the \u201cCenter for Soft Nanoscience (SoN)\u201d on the science campus in M\u00fcnster operates under very special conditions that only a tailor-made, highly functional and high-tech building can offer. The university wanted the SoN to help raise the international profile of M\u00fcnster as a research location.
\nFrom the outside, the three-storey building looks like a technical apparatus: shiny silver, smooth, functional and dynamic thanks to the sloping fa\u00e7ade to the south. This contrasts with the other end of the fa\u00e7ade, which is surrounded by a wild flowering hill.
\nOn a total area of almost 8,000 m\u00b2, 140 workplaces were created for professors, doctoral candidates and Master's students.
\nThe length of the building is emphasized by ribbon windows on the upper floors, while the structure itself is clad in shimmering silver-green aluminium composite panels.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The scientific uses of the ground floor, the clean room, the physics laboratories and the microscopy area, are arranged one behind the other.
\nThe clean room requires a building depth well above the standard. The 5 laboratories for tests in particle-free air are surrounded by a gray room that is only accessible to people and materials via airlocks. In order to make optimum use of daylight despite the great depth, all offices are located on the long western flank of the building.
\nIn contrast to the workstations, the atrium is an almost homely communication zone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
