These slab designs were to allow for spinning and twisting machines on suspended floor, of lengths in access of 55.0m x 40.0m without any expansion joint. Slabs were designed to support live loads 3.6 – 4.0 tonnes/m² in areas. Deflections across the length of the building were vital to control especially in 55.0m long direction. The structural steel roof, spans in excess of 47.0m clear span to produce a working area of 6000m² "free of column support".

Concrete domes approximately 33m high support “petal arrangement” centre structure surrounded by a font. The ground floor design is completely "independent" in design to the first floor whereby due to the religious connotation the first floor had to be orientated 11.4° due East. All structural columns from the ground to the first floor are independently designed to columns from the first to the roof. Thus the first floor slab was designed as a combination of post tensioning and normal reinforced concrete to support the loadings thereon.
