This new Microelectronics Waferfab Production Facility for Siemens (UK) provides a cost efficient world class plant while meeting all technical, environmental and safety requirements. Accommodation is arranged symmetrically around a central axis and includes a five storey office building, a four storey support building, a production facility (Module 1) based on the “ballroom” cleanroom concept and ancillary buildings. Unified materials, consistent detailing and the careful alignment of elements, both vertically and horizontally, convey a clarity of purpose while retaining a human scale to the building form. Landscaping includes a water feature which pedestrians cross via a bridge linking the main entrance and the car parks. Completed - 1997 Value - £185 Million
