The Research Institute was situated on a relatively high slope, which meant that it was quite far from the city's underground drainage system in terms of vertical distance.
This allowed the Research Institute to have more 'underground space' available for use compared to other buildings.
The entire Research Institute had a total of 27 floors, of which 21 were above ground and 6 below.
The first three floors above ground were for administration and reception rooms; above the third floor were various laboratories and meeting rooms that were known to the public.
These things exposed to the sunlight were of little significance to the Research Institute.
The six floors underground were the core of the entire Research Institute, with the first to the fourth sub-levels all being 'surgery rooms' for operating on 'volunteers'.
