This is a building that is hard to
photograph because its almost mirror like
surface is highly reflective and extremely shiny
on a sunny day. The flat facade is broken
by numerous pointed windows set in what is
described in some sources as granite. Ruth
Siddall writing on a UCL website describes it
as, "... highly polished, black
Rustenburg Bon Accord Gabbro from the
Bushveld lopolith in the Transvaal, South
Africa."
At street level the building
features tapering pilotis similar to other
buildings by Seifert.
