It connects each building in an elliptical shape and protects pedestrian during the cold winter climate.  The 176 long and 3.5m wide footbridge was divided into 52 blocks for transport, assembled to 26 blocks on site, and was welded together in the final position using scaffolding on the vent. The footbridge, shaped like an oval ring, features a large, support-free, continuous glass envelop in the inner surface of the ring.
