In this case, considering the radio chemical effects from the old factory is very significant. The architectural design should take in consideration the isolation of the building from the chemical products existing because it was used previously as a factory.
I would also recommend the usage of renewable energies such as solar pannels for instance. The skylight would be a good location to place transparent solar pannels; that will not only let natural sunlight in the building but also produce natural electricity (which will make the project more green).
The usage of local contruction materials will reduce the building cost and save electrity for the users. For instance, if it's easy to get clay from where the project is located, I would use it inside the maconnery walls. In this case, the clay will reduce the transmition of outside temperature inside the building; therefor, the temperature inside will stay consistent.
However, I find your project very interresting. The renderings and the idea of recycling the building is very interresting.
