The building is constructed within a large area in which various buildings of the Biotechnical Faculty are positioned as pavilions among groves of fruit trees. It is a functional and conceptual continuation of the existing faculty complex. The extension represents one of two new volumes that together with the existing buildings, form the complex of the biotechnical faculty.

In spite of the poor construction state of the existing building, it is the only context of design and organization the new building design could relate to. For this reason, all communication passages in the new building are connected to hallways of the existing building. The main entrance from the western side and the existing building entrance create a large entry platform with benches. The entry platform serves to functionally and perceptively combine two dislocated entries into a unified whole.
