Fast-track factory for Motorola
Article Abstract:
Motorola's new cellular telephone factory at Easter Inch, Scotland is designed to embody the company's philosophy of team work and integration of functions. The two storey, 18,000 square meter building is set in landscaped grounds close to transport and with room for further expansion. Constructed of concrete and steel with glazed atria, the exterior is unexciting. However, internally the space is used to emphasise the corporate culture. There is no barrier between offices and the production area. The design will be a reference point for similar facilities. The building was completed by fast-track methods in a year.
