Leading architects to lead effort in establishing a new OEM's integrated corporate campus
ATLANTA, Georgia, August 31, 2006 – Carbon Motors Corporation has agreed to source the architectural concept development, planning, and execution relating to the development, implementation, and launch of the Carbon Campus to HOK.
“As a new automaker with a clean slate, we have a wonderful opportunity to drive organizational behavior through architecture. We are developing a fully-integrated campus to house the headquarters, research & development center, production facility, showroom, and vehicle evaluation track all on one brand compliant campus. This will be a key ingredient to insure that we build a well-oiled machine of a company and strong culture,” stated William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO, Carbon Motors Corporation.
Sean M. (Monte) Wilson, Senior Vice-President, HOK, remarked, “We see a number of great projects every day but rarely does one have an opportunity to impact an entire company from the ground up like we have with Carbon Motors. We have an opportunity as architects to plan a project where the real estate design aspects can be viewed holistically along with the products, services, and culture of the Company. HOK is proud to partner with Carbon in such an endeavor and the community that ultimately is selected will be more than pleased to have Carbon Motors be a key employer in that region.”
