• Quantum – AI Research Centre

Quantum – An AI research centre located in The Island Quarter, Nottingham (NG2 4LA), designed to operate autonomously while remaining publicly accessible. Blending advanced automation with civic engagement, it functions as both a research facility and educational hub, allowing real-time interaction with AI technologies.
Architecturally, it creates a bold dialogue between nature and machine, with the Nottingham Canal entering the ground floor to shape spatial experience. Intelligent systems such as adaptive solar shading, switchable smart glass, geothermal energy, and canal-based thermal exchange support off-grid, low-carbon operation. AI governs every aspect, including internal systems and autonomous transport for visitors.
