Rubb's solution involved providing two structures. The main structure, being the cafeteria, a 40' (12m) x 66.67' x (20.33m) BVE type building with 16.4' (5m) sidewalls and the second building a 30' (9.14m) x 6' (1.83m) with a 12' (3.66m) leg height served as a connection tunnel to link to the existing brick built Student Union Building. The Rubb engineers and site personnel worked around the masonry structures' various overhangs thus eliminating costly building modifications.

The buildings are suitable for permanent use, however they can also be relocated, extended, or modified to meet changing needs. The backbone of most of the structures is a well-engineered steel structural frame that is post-production hot dip galvanized. The structural frame of a Rubb building is typically clad with a high quality, heavyweight PVC coated polyester membrane. Rubb used a semi translucent roof fabric providing a bright interior, with the addition of lower energy costs as the time required for artificial light is reduced.

The Rubb organisation, with production facilities in Great Britain, Norway and the United States is recognised as a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of relocatable structures and is quality certified to ISO9001: 2000.
