The Hive. Considered the heart of the Technocentre, it dominates with its 100 ft. (30m) height and houses 4,100 people. It brings together projects and their platform teams, the expert functional units in vehicle engineering and the research department. The whole is adjustable, open and accessible in order to encourage communication. The lowest level is engineering offices. At ground level, parts and sub-assemblies take shape and are subjected to validation tests. At the center, three interconnected “patios” form the “Arcade,” the central artery of the site, housing four restaurants, a bank, insurance office, conference rooms, information areas and a competitive analysis center.
