Firstly, the hydraulic engines laboratory, which is a 8 m wide skylight hall extension including two 6 m deep circular underground waterpools meant for the purposes of the hydraulic experiments conducted by the Department of Hydraulic Engines. The second span was to contain the 5 m wide winding engines laboratory featuring a shelter system suited to store 16 different materials. To bridge over the slant between the halland the street line, a small single-storey wing rounds off the annex to house a drawing room, office and porter's lodge. By extending the building asfarasthe boundaries of the site, the continuous fence was disrupted here and also the elevation of the building towards Bertalan Lajos Street was changed. The former continuous facade graced by brick architecture was replaced by a modern masonry articulated by large windows on the street-side. In the 1950s the original laboratory was divided up. The old hall was cut into two longitudinally, the first one fa cingthe Campus into two parts once again, of which the western was separated also with a roofing. After moving the Department of Caloric Engines into the hall wing (DCs) of the riverside building, in 1968 the former Caloric Laboratory (the hall closest to the wing facing the Campus) was converted into the Levers Laboratory.
