Architectural Partners worked with AVR in Southside Virginia on their new facility to research and develop alternate fuel vehicles for the 21st century. The program for the space required administration spaces, showroom and demonstration spaces, several hi-tech laboratories as well as vehicle maintenance garage and fabrication spaces. The program also required flexibility for seamless future expansion. The design team was tasked with developing a project within a conservative budget and a tight time frame. The final building design was sleek and contemporary.
