Rolls-Royce Motor
Cars Limited.
Manufacturing Plant Rolls-Royce's brand new development could support the production of a car as precisely and uncompromisingly engineered as a Rolls-Royce. The strikingly imaginative buildings, evocative location and genuinely innovative manufacturing process echo our past at the same time as pointing the way to a thrilling future. Situated near Goodwood on the south coast of England, the new headquarters has a noble heritage: the land forms part of the estate of the Earl of March. Close by, the horse racing track, private air strip, race track, golf course and the historic Goodwood House, provide opportunities to enjoy the locality for both our employees and our customers. The site chosen for the brand new, purpose-designed manufacturing plant and headquarters met all criteria laid down at the birth of the project. Created by award winning architects Nicholas Grimshaw and Partners, the Rolls-Royce facilities are set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and include the largest single span ‘green’ roof in Europe. Covered with many thousand cedum plants that change colour with the seasons, the site blends perfectly into its surroundings. Our responsibilities stretch into the wider environment, too: water draining off the roof is channelled into a landscaped lake which, in turn, drives a pump that powers air conditioning units for the buildings. Inside, the working environment is inspirational. Light and spacious, it is perfect for a manufacturing process that blends the latest technology with the traditional craft skills found in the wood and leather shops. "The intention was to create a finely crafted, contemporary building that works in harmony with its natural setting. In this way the new manufacturing plant and head office reflect the ethos behind the Rolls-Royce name, where technology and tradition are brought together with exceptional results." Nicholas Grimshaw, Architect
