Welcome to the professors abode. Here one of the esteemed professors from Bricksford university set up a research facility for himself and his brightest students.

Right by the door you will find a space for microscopy and chemistry work. Across the room is the professors personal favorite, a setup for electrostatic research.

The upstairs is more dedicated to study with a small scientific library. Together with the accompanying reading room it is a great place to stay up to date with all the latest discoveries. The upper floor also a workspace for the study of geological and archeological samples.

The design consists of 1279 parts including 2 minifigures of the professor and a student. It has dimensions of roughly 15 X 15 X 15 cm when closed and 30 X 8 X 15 cm when fully opened. I tried to keep the design at a smaller size to have a more modest submission between the probably many larger designs.

The building can be opened up to 180 degrees to create a wider building on one side and have full access on the other.

Both halves of the upper floor and both parts of the roof can be easily removed for better access from above.

The outer walls are build as a series of separate panels rather than dircetly attaching many small plates to the sides.

The model was designed as a victorian-ish style building with a science setup inside fitting to the time period. It is meant to be a building you could find in a 19th century European city while also having a unique interior.

I am a big fan of both historic and science related things with the victorian period as one of my favorites. So this project is a combination of both interests. The inspiration to create this model partially came from a visit to a science museum, which made me want to recreate a large electrostatic setup on display. From that it grew into a full sized building with multiple science elements.

I have been building and designing with LEGO as an adult for some years but this is the first time I am submitting it to the public. I had a lot of fun creating this design so I hope that you can enjoy it as well.
