PROJECT: International Institute for Product & Service Innovation (IIPSI)

LOCATION: University of Warwick

DATE: 2010 - present

IIPSI will be a high profile building forming the final piece of the University's Academic Square. It will provide flexible, high quality workspaces that showcase the innovative technologies and processes taking place within the building. This will be the third building Cullinans have designed for Warwick's Manufacturing Group (WMG) and the University.

IIPSI will provide a dedicated facility and support to regional small and medium enterprises (SME) based on the demonstration of new technology, new processes and new applications to enable the creation and testing of market leading products and services. SMEs will be able to see and touch technology throughout the open-plan facility, co-located with experts that are working to develop it. The building will provide both interactive openness and calm working areas.

Designed to a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating, the building will provide a comfortable environment with a low energy load in its passive state; vastly reducing the need for expensive add-on technologies.
