The National Automotive Innovation Centre (NAIC) in the Prof. Lord Bhattacharyya Building at the University of Warwick is one of the largest research centres of its kind in Europe. The NAIC brings together the brightest minds from industry and academia; the Centre is a beacon for future mobility and sustainability research and development. It will create future vehicles and personal mobility solutions as well as deliver the skills required to keep the UK globally competitive. The £150M Centre is a partnership project by WMG at the University of Warwick, Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Motors. Cullinan Studio has worked with WMG since 1992, and from the start of the project the architects built on this trusted relationship. This level of engagement from feasibility right through to delivery proved essential to the development of the brief and eventual success of the building. Cullinan Studio led an in-depth consultation process to explore and develop a shared working culture. This helped prepare building users for the significant change to their workplace settings and gave the architects a unique insight into how people wanted to work in their new building and how best to support them.
