This building is shaped in the form of a cross, with ten towers, six of which are 70 m high and the other four 45 m high. The most outstanding feature is their slender Steel, water-filled columns supporting the floor construction. The columns, in their turn rest on cross beams placed on box trusses (caisson) connecting the towers. The towers were built using sliding forms, while the box trusses were built using scaffold forms. Infra-red rays were used in different construction stages to achieve the fast curing of the concrete. The building contains, among other areas, an electronic data processing facility, a teaching hall, mess hall, lounge, etc.
