2 CULLINAN STUDIO Architects & Masterplanners Over five decades Cullinan Studio has gained an international reputation for designing successful and sustainable buildings, spaces and places. We work with our clients. We listen to your needs, respond creatively to your aspirations and collaborate with you to arrive at the best possible design. The result is beautiful, intelligent and sustainable buildings. For every project, we are committed to creating the best possible environment for the client, user and the wider community. National Automotive Innovation Centre The National Automotive Innovation Centre (NAIC) is a unique project at the University of Warwick for Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Motors European Technical Centre and WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group). Front Cover: View of the National Automotive Innovation Centre (NAIC) entrance. Opposite: Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology is enabling productive collaboration between the client, users, designers and construction disciplines.

3 WORKING WITH THE USERS A unique project has no off-the-shelf solution. We worked extensively with all the partner organisations to: develop the type of space needed to allow the activities to take place look for opportunities to add value through location of the spaces and the potential for sharing Above: For the International Institute for Product and Service Innovation for WMG at the University of Warwick, we identified and worked with the people with the best knowledge of specialist activities, as we are at NAIC. Opposite: View of the NAIC exterior and new landscape.

4 A COLLABORATIVE WORKPLACE The building is arranged to be open, to engage the public and encourage collaboration to: increase cross-disciplinary cooperation halve the time between first idea and production inspire the next generation with undergraduate teaching alongside cutting edge research View to Engineering hall Student Projects Reception Exhibition Cafe Above: Overview of the front of house areas: cafe shown in pink; reception and exhibition in yellow; student project area in turquoise. Opposite: NAIC has 1000 workstations for researchers working in 30,000m 2 of floorspace. The collaboration hub will encourage inter-disciplinary interaction.
