“Elkus Manfredi possesses the rare ability to swiftly immerse themselves in a brand’s culture while taking hold of the process and effectively guiding their clients. Throughout the entire process, employee engagement and change management were not just critical, but principle to the journey, resulting in an exciting and engaging process.”

Project Information
Named as one of “The 10 Most Innovative Companies” in the robotics industry by Fast Company, Nuro selected Elkus Manfredi Architects to design a phased expansion of its Silicon Valley workplace.
The new headquarters needed to serve as a tool for recruiting, accommodating a variety of individual and collaborative work styles, cultivating cross-functional partnerships and learning, and promoting employee wellness.
Elkus Manfredi transformed 165,000 square feet of cavernous warehouse space into a human-scaled office, fostering connection, choice, and spontaneous interaction.
The concept of a ring road designed for both people and Nuro’s autonomous vehicles separates the office’s inner loop and outer loop and divides the interior into “neighborhoods”.
