Nuro Headquarters

Elkus Manfredi Architects transformed two warehouses into one modern, connected R&D environment that elevates the brand of autonomous vehicle maker Nuro and distinguishes it among its peers. Inspired by Nuro’s vehicles, the workplace layout utilizes classic urban design principles. The striped ring “road” connects all spaces and separates the inner loop—the dense “urban center” with support spaces, meeting rooms, labs, and the building core—from the outer loop, which is open and expansive, with airy workstations areas and roadside kitchens for casual socializing, recharging, and connecting.

Elkus Manfredi Architects creates dynamic, connected, sustainable places and environments that foster community, from workplace to urban neighborhoods. The firm provides a synergistic combination of services that includes architecture, interior architecture, workplace strategy, employee engagement and change management, master planning, and urban design. With a 35+ year legacy of design distinction, the firm is recognized for its work with corporate, life sciences, workplace, higher education, hospitality, residential, and retail-entertainment clients.
