The Faculty of Medicine building, University of Maribor, is located on the Taborsko obrežje between Drava, Glavni most, and Pobreška cesta. It is split into two sections: a pedagogical department and a research section. The main entrance is on the south side on the first floor. The building’s façade is composed of transparent, enamelled glass panels employing various shades of colour. The composition using various glass panels creates an image of reflecting light that rebounds off the surface of the Drava.
