The campus will incorporate 100,000 sq m (1,077,000 sq ft) of labs, offices and will include a lecture theater, as well as a public visitor center
The accelerator's tungsten target will be symbolically mirrored by the roof of a large circular roof built above the hall holding the target itself
The first research at the ESS is expected to take place in 2019, with final completion of the facility scheduled for 2025
