The design focuses on climate conditions and aims to decrease the overall carbon footprint and water consumption of the building. A 800m² photovoltaic parasol on the top of the structure produces approximately 115000kw/h energy a year. Prevailing wind on site is allowed to travel through the building by cross-ventilation axes, and the atrium and the sky garden enhance the buildings natural ventilation options. The intense and instant rain on the site is utilized by repurposing storm water for irrigation. Landscape is designed with less or no water consuming elements, so all irrigation requirements can be met by collected storm water.

It is aimed that the rectorate building would serve as a motive for building more effective structures and controlling consumption throughout the campus.
