HED recently applied its New Technical Workplace design strategy to the creation of the NATCC for Veoneer, a company in the autotech industry who designs software, hardware, and systems for active safety, collaborative and autonomous driving, occupant protection, and brake control.
The new NATCC provides space for a team of more than 900 staff members and fulfills its mission to promote innovation and industry leadership through its design as an experiential, interconnected workplace. Designed to help shape the company’s future in autonomous driving and active safety systems, the new technical center features both office and automotive testing spaces.
Research and testing labs most effectively met on a first-floor ground level location with amenities on the higher floors. This stacking of the program allowed the new 180,000-square-foot facility to be contained within a very compact, cost-effective four-story volume to maximize the square footage and overall potential of the site.
Shared amenity spaces including the café, fitness center, outdoor deck, and training spaces were placed on the top floor to maximize the views for the company’s staff of the adjacent wetland. Centralized collaborative hubs on each floor, along with vertically-stacked daylit working lounges promote connections and exchange throughout the work environment.
