The new factory has six manufacturing lines: an experimental line for exploring innovation and prototypes; a second for developing production refinements of prototypes, and the remainder for production. A mezzanine level contains the factory’s management offices, training, and conference rooms overlooking the manufacturing areas below.
The facility incorporates multiple sustainable design features. Among these are the enhancing of natural ventilation to maintain a comfortable ambient temperature work environment. This is achieved through the introduction of ventilation towers that induce a natural airflow from adjoining landscape zones.

Open mesh side walls combine with continuous clerestory glazing and strategic skylighting to provide even, ambient daylighting throughout the work areas. In addition, the factory enclosure employs design elements such as deep shading roof overhangs, and light colored materials that reflect and reject heat, to improve and enhance the work environment.
