除此之外 ， 建筑系学生和厨房工作坊的参与者共同设计一间模块化厨房 。 艺术家Katherine Bell设计了一套创新式水过滤系统 ， 施工人员使用滑轮系统通过一系列相互连接的水缸来抽取水渠中的水 ， 这些水缸中设置有诸如沙生物膜、蘑菇菌丝体、斑马贻贝等生物过滤器 。

This public-facing approach gave the Floating University its architectural form and a truly unique series of spaces. From a dusty side road a small gate led visitors onto a metal staircase with a balcony overlooking the basin giving a dramatic first glimpse of the university structure. Through a thicket of tomato and potato planters a waterside walkway led to the center of the structure. Here a 100-seat auditorium (with a separate floating floor) sat beneath an inflated tarpaulin roof.

Elsewhere a modular kitchen was designed by architecture students and other participants of a workshop on the socio-spatial history of the kitchen. An innovative water filtration system designed by artist-in-residence Katherine Bell used a wheel to draw the ditch water through a series of interconnected bathtubs containing biological filters such as sand-biofilm mushroom mycelium and zebra mussels.
