NEC Corporation will be constructing a 12-story global base for innovation with a floor area of roughly 50,000 square meters near Tokyo in March 2023 at around ¥33 billion.
The provisionally named "NEC Innovation Building," which will be the company’s flagship building for work style reform, is expected to be completed in June 2025.
The new building is to be used by approximately 4,700 people belonging to such groups as the Global Innovation Unit, which are involved in innovation creation, including developing cutting-edge technologies and new businesses.
NEC aims to become a "creating knowledge" forum, that would interact with startups and partners globally and create social value through open innovation.
The building will have an open main entrance on the second floor, and the fifth to 12th floors will have an atrium structure in the center with an interior staircase.
Other than office floors, the building will also have floors for evaluation experiments and demonstrations, for joint research and development with partners, and or events and networking.
There will be a "communication hub" that serves as a forum for collaboration with team members throughout the building and an "innovation hub" where individuals from inside and outside the company can gather.
As part of efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, the building will have a solar power system, take advantage of geothermal heat, and have efficient natural ventilation and natural lighting.
