The Architectural Brief was to design and construct a new Parts Distribution Centre consisting of a 16 000m² warehouse facility with a modern support office of approximately 1000m², which suitably represents the MAN Truck & Bus corporate identity. Provision was to be made for a potential 9 000m² expansion capability to the warehouse facility, should this become a future requirement. The design solution for the P.D.C. sought to achieve a clean, contemporary architectural aesthetic, taking cognisance of the corporate identity of MAN through the utilisation of suitable, modern building technologies and locally appropriate construction materials and methodologies
