The McLaren Technology Centre is the headquarters of the McLaren Technology Group Ltd and all of its companies, located on a 500,000 m² site in Woking, Surrey, England. The complex consists of four buildings two of which are open. The main building is the McLaren Technology Centre (Home of McLaren Group), The McLaren Production Centre (Home of McLaren Automotive), the McLaren-GSK Centre for Applied Performance (Home of McLaren-GSK Parthership- due to open in late 2015) and the fourth building is the McLaren Centre for Appled Technologies (Home of McLaren Applied Technologies). The main headquarters building is a large, roughly semi-circular, glass-walled building, designed by the architect Norman Foster and his company, Foster and Partners. The building was short-listed for the 2005 Stirling Prize, which was won by the Scottish Parliament building. About 1,000 people work at the Technology Centre. It is home to the McLaren Racing Formula One constructor and McLaren Automotive, the makers of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, as well as other companies of the McLaren Group. It is also the main setting of McLaren's new cartoon, Tooned. In 2011, the size of the centre was doubled after a second building, the McLaren Production Centre, was built. This two storey building is used for manufacturing cars for McLaren Automotive and also for some of McLaren Applied Technology's products. Two more buildings are planned for the site to complete the complex, the McLaren Applied Technology Centre and the McLaren-GSK Technology Centre. These will sit beside the semi circular McLaren Technology Centre headquarters and the McLaren Production Centre. ==Buildings== *McLaren Technology Centre: This is the main headquarters of McLaren Group and McLaren Honda.
