The Faculty of Technology in Rijeka is located in former 19. CT military barracks. The building has been reconstructed in the 1960s, when were also added new workshops and laboratories to the north, connected by a metal bridge to the main building.

This project is dealing with the space between these two buildings. Additional 3 floors of lecture rooms and workshops are added to the old building. This new volume is closed with a glazed facade consisting of 3,6 m high glass beams and 3,6x1m glass panels. A new connection to the north wing is located in the suspended metal frame, covered with a curtain of perforated anodized panels.
