The building complex continues the axis of the central building of the Nagyerdei Campus.
The main building consists of a 120-metre-long central lobby and a perpendicular it consists of 5 wings,
12 departments and 120 laboratories. On the ground floor, education takes place in three large lecture theatres and classrooms.
The library is located in the smaller building.
A gate at the centre of gravity, constructed using the geometric abstraction method
connecting the two buildings, is the work of sculptor János Megyik. The façade of the building is clad in precast concrete panels and pre-patinated copper cladding.
