The site for this project is located south of the rear building of the Academia Sinica Institute of Chemistry and the Modern History Archives, with a road to the east and a Taipower high-voltage tower to the south. This makes it a somewhat sensitive location. Chemical-related buildings often evoke associations with waste gas and hazardous substances. One of the key goals of this project was to shed these negative impressions and create a forward-looking chemistry center that is humane, healthy, and friendly.
The spacious open space on the ground floor is filled with greenery and features an ecological pond. Upon entering the lobby, one is greeted by a high, bright, and vibrant atmosphere, with a bustling flow of people and flexible spaces for discussion and exchange, both large and small.
"Within the modular structure, in addition to the interactive spaces that remain flexible within the regularity, the open laboratories with clear views and the humanistic, comfortable international conference hall equipped with a lounge offer a brand-new contemporary spatial experience.
