, M Moser

Associates and General Electric Co shared a milestone when Jeff Immelt, CEO

of GE, cut the ribbon to inaugurate the GE Innovation Centre in

Chengdu, China

.

The very first of several similar facilities planned worldwide -- including three in

China

by the end of 2013 -- the Chengdu Innovation Centre will enable GE to

interact more closely with customers and take a locally-focused approach to

both services and product research in such areas as healthcare, energy and

transport. M Moser Associates was GE's leading partner in designing and

planning the 33,500 sq-m campus.

Impressively, this pioneering facility -- which includes two floors of laboratories,

six office floors, and a 3,580 sq-m interactive show space -- was designed and

completed in just one year. By using technologies such as virtual 3D modelling

and animation, M Moser's designers, engineers and space planners were able

to integrate their efforts seamlessly while collaborating in real time with the

client for the project's duration. The result was an exceptionally streamlined

design process.

Though led by M Moser's team in

Shanghai

, professionals from the firm's office

in

Hong Kong

also made key contributions to the project. The same teams --

plus members of the M Moser team in

Beijing

-- are currently engaged in

delivering GE's next two Innovation Centre projects in

Xi'an

and

Shenyang

.
