整个建筑和内部都使用了 CLT 板（cross-laminated timber，交叉层积木材），冈山县是日本最大的CLT 板产地。

CLT panels, of which Okayama is the largest producer in Japan were used throughout the structure and interior.

CLT 板宽2.2米，长35米，厚21厘米，以不同的角度堆叠在整个场地上，整体的高差约为4米。体块的角度错位在中间形成了各种开口和空间。

The CLT panels 2.2m wide, 35m long, and 21cm thick, are stacked at varying angles across the site, with a height difference of approximately 4m. The angular misalignment of the panels creates a variety of spaces and openings in-between.

开放的空间不同于人们对于传统的CLT结构封闭，重复的印象，体现了该设施的主题精神：开放性和与当地社区的合作。其中包括在共享办公空间和当地冈山大学的参与合作。通过这些空间，可以开展突破世代和产学界限的活动。

The open space, which differs from the closed and repetitive impression of conventional CLT structures represents the spirit of the facility’s theme of openness and collaboration within the local community, including the participation of local Okayama University in the co-working space. Through these spaces, a crossover of activities that transcend generations and industry-academia boundaries are to be expected.
