Tata Motors' Jaguar Land Rover Automotive has started construction of a GBP200m redevelopment of its design and engineering centre at Gaydon in Warwickshire, England.
The expansion represents the first major construction project at one of the company's non-manufacturing sites in over a decade. The development is intended to become one of the world's foremost automotive product, engineering and design sites, JLR said in a statement.
Warwickshire County recently opened a new road and redesigned motorway junction to improve access to the JLR campus and its automotive neighbours, Aston Martin and the British Motor Museum.
Chris Elliott, property programmes director, said: "The new space will centralise our design, product engineering and purchasing functions in an original and modern environment, as well as creating additional capacity for the future."
A unique landscaped campus will include new offices and design centres.
JLR is building a new factory in Slovakia and has opened an assembly plant in Brazil.
