Geddes Architects is a privately-owned
RIBA‑chartered architectural company
involved in the masterplanning and
build out of Technology and Science
Parks. We have offices in London and
Prague and have completed projects
in the UK, Europe and the UAE.
Science and Technology
Business parks, offices and industrial
spaces have been part of our company
portfolio for many years. We are now
significantly involved in the design
and implementation of Technology and
Science Parks. Whether located in urban
environments or in the countryside, they
are the modern workplace. The challenge
is to create a sustainable sense of place, to
ensure they can fulfil their potential and
attract further investment and new
business partners. A constant appraisal
to replace and update these facilities is
essential if they are to compete in this
rapidly changing sector.
We have been particularly involved
in the masterplanning and build-out
of the 240ha MIRA Technology Park
outside Nuneaton. This specialist
vehicle research and development facility
is being transformed to ensure it retains
its position as a world-class research and
testing facility. It is now part of the Horiba
group, and significant investment in
testing facilities and new buildings is
being undertaken. We are fortunate to
be retained as the architects for this latest
phase of an illustrious track record.
As well as major improvements to the
surrounding and internal infrastructure, six new buildings ranging from 1,500m ²
to 5,000m ² incorporating offices,
workshops, and laboratories have been
completed over the last five years, and
more are about to start on site. This
includes the MIRA Technology
Institute, a 5,500m ² teaching facility
in the heart of the technology park to
ensure education and the pursuit of
excellence go hand in hand.

VIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE
As well as our involvement in Technology
Parks we are also working on mixed use,
residential, and retail developments in
the UK and across Europe. We aim to
create commercially viable, sustainable
architecture, with a sense of place, that
encourages creative thinking, in facilities
that are enjoyable to live and work in. ■
