Sector-7 Arboretum Complex — Site Plan
The authoritative zone register and layout reference for the Complex: nine functional zones across three above-grade levels, a containment sub-level, and a rooftop drone deck, totalling 184,600 m² of gross floor area.
Complex Overview
The Sector-7 Arboretum Complex is a radial arcology. The Central Atrium — home to the "Universal Flora" living archive — sits at the geometric center under a 40 m biophotonic dome. The six Greenhouse Grids (A–F) radiate outward at grade and L2 as the productive bulk of the building. Plant, command, and logistics functions ring the perimeter, the GCL-4 Bio-Vault Wing is buried at sub-level SL-1 below the Atrium, and the Pollinator Drone Hangar caps the structure on the roof deck. Circulation follows a strict graded gradient: occupancy classification rises as one moves inward and downward toward the Vault, and every transition between grades passes through a controlled airlock documented in VC-FAC-0400.

Zone Register
The nine functional zones. Floor areas are net assignable; the Greenhouse Grid row aggregates the 64 cultivation zones across grids A–F. Climate profiles are nominal setpoints maintained by the plant described in VC-FAC-0200.

Net assignable total above (≈178,400 m²) excludes ~6,200 m² of vertical circulation, interstitial plenum, and primary plant risers counted in the 184,600 m² gross figure.
