Client List

Highfields Automotive & Engineering Training Centre
Nottingham Science & Technology Park

Highfields Automotive & Engineering Training Centre is an Anglo-Japanese collaboration between Castle College and Toyota GB. Seen as an exemplar of joint working, the facilities provide training and research facilities for automotive engineering including hybrid engine technology and biofuels.

The building sits within the Highfields Science Park site and its form continues the logic of the masterplan, engaging with the central public space by allowing the landscape to flow through and around its structure.

The building consists of two specialist wings with expandable workshops and a shared resource hub with library, showroom and catering facilities.
