Crawley Enterprise Centre

The 4300sqm Enterprise Centre comprises start-up accommodation for 80 fledgling businesses. In addition to the office and workshop spaces it offers social and support facilities which small businesses would find difficult to provide independently.

The buildings are located along the site boundaries to create a courtyard format which engenders a spirit of community amongst the occupiers whilst adding to their security by casual supervision.

The two and three storey buildings are clad in buff brick and light grey metal panels to provide a relaxing elevation to the courtyard and also to minimise maintenance. The roofs are overlapping mono-pitches which enable light to filter through to the corridors below.
