When was the mclaren technology centre opened




















Our guide took us through the staging areas where the F1 cars were being constructed. Also, the previous year's cars were being converted to display models. Our guide walked us by each sterling example, explaining the significance and importance of each model as it evolved. Something that might concern F1 fans would be the lack of period-appropriate Marlboro graphics on some of the cars.

Because of the stringent rules regarding cigarette advertising, McLaren removed the tobacco decals from any vehicle that might be seen by the public if any sort of filming occurred on-site. But then, a collective sigh for die-hards: One of the vehicles pulled from storage for the audit retained all of the appropriate graphics, Marlboro included.

It won 15 out of 16 races in the season and claimed both Constructors and Drivers Championships; driven by Ayrton Senna. Car is promised to be given to Hamilton when he wins three championships.

The new Production Centre, which lies immediately to the south-west of the Technology Centre, has allowed McLaren Automotive to step up its production capability and to introduce a range of new road cars, heralded by the bhp MPC.

Although it provides 32,square-metres of accommodation, over two floors, the building is dug discreetly into the landscape to minimise its physical presence. It is connected to the Technology Centre by a subterranean walkway, lined with interactive exhibition spaces. A Visitor Centre with educational facilities is located in a separate building at the entrance to the complex. This two-storey structure is also buried underground. It houses an exhibition space and lecture theatre and is reached via a subterranean link that features a permanent display of McLaren's racing and road cars.

Woking UK. To minimise the visual impact of the project, the building height was limited, so that it did not exceed the height of the surrounding trees.

The building was dug into the earth on the North, South and East elevations, which helps to provide a thermal buffer to the building. A green travel plan was developed to reduce automobile dependence, with the building connected to a cycle network and a bus stop. To enhance pedestrian access within the building, it is subdivided into individual fingers, each with its own specific functions. These are then connected by a large double height gallery space that is used for wayfinding.

With the expansion of the site, a tunnel connects the production facility. Recycled tyres are used for the rubber roof. High levels of repetition in design led to a decrease in the amount of materials used and construction waste generated. While the ,m3 of excavate created was redistributed onsite. The 50Ha site was previously developed with some contamination, which was remediated before, trees and shrubs were planted to help improve biodiversity.

In addition the lake and reedbeds have created new habitats within the site. The height of buildings is limited by the tree line, so they are not visually obtrusive. The design of the building reflects the ethos of McLaren, by creating a clean, healthy, and well controlled environment for its employees. Offices and Headquarters Industrial and Research.

Form and Massing The building was dug into the earth on the North, South and East elevations, which helps to provide a thermal buffer to the building. Sky lights in the offices help to provide diffuse daylight. Environmental Systems Throughout the office space chilled beams are integrated within the diffuse daylight catchers.
