Multicolored Vanceva color PVB interlayers were used extensively both inside and outside on the Computer Science Building. The building’s original 1970 concrete cladding was stripped away with portions of the building demolished. For the exterior facade, the Vanceva laminated fins visually create digital code that is striking in sunlight and when illuminated at night. Extensive glazing at the front elevation and the bridge link gives the building an updated look and creates a beautiful new landmark on the campus. The brightly colored glass theme continues inside. Natural light brightens the interior with the use of light tunnels, while brightly hued balustrades provide a pop of color throughout the facility’s four floors. Queen's University Vice Chancellor professor, Patrick Johnston said "This state-of-the-art facility will contribute to the vision of the ICT Industry in Northern Ireland to be a world class centre for ICT excellence."
