Within CADET, all laboratory environments are visually and physically interconnected. The arrangement of these spaces developed from consideration of the studio based laboratory model, resulting in a more efficient use of space, enhanced the ability for interdisciplinary learning activities and projects, whilst ensuring learning and research is always on show throughout these specialist areas.

Strategically large areas of glazing enable laboratory environments and prototyping studios, the activities, processes and equipment to be highly visible, allowing all to see how these operate and the activities underway. Through proximity to adjoining learning and collaborative spaces, there is enhanced visually and physical connectivity and opportunities for all laboratory and specialist spaces to be more effectively utilised.
