Murata will establish a new research and development base in front of Moriyama Station in Shiga Prefecture

Symbiosis with the region :

The exterior design of the building will reduce the sense of oppression and continue to create spaces that harmonize with the surroundings, such as creating open spaces so that local residents can pass through.

The building is also equipped with science experience facilities for children. Through STEAM education such as experiential exhibitions and electronic work classrooms, science experience facilities for children are set up. We hope to provide an opportunity for children to help them come into contact with the wonders and wonders of science. Interesting and improve their ability to seek knowledge. In addition, a space will be set up at the entrance of the building on the first floor to receive people who have suffered a disaster or have difficulty returning home, and can be temporarily used by everyone.

environmental protection

The center also plans to build a green space within the land area that is open to local residents. In addition, energy-saving and renewable energy technologies will be introduced, such as the use of wood, the introduction of solar power panels, and the use of rainwater. As a building that protects the global environment, it not only includes energy saving, resource conservation, recycling performance, etc., but also reduces environmental load. , which also includes improving environmental quality such as indoor comfort and protecting the landscape, will strive to obtain CASBEE (Japanese Building Comprehensive Environmental Performance Evaluation System) grade certification.

Diverse ways of working

The center will promote diversified work styles and strive to improve the capabilities of individuals and organizations, such as satellite offices (branch offices) and other functional spaces configured according to work styles.

BCP and disaster prevention measures

This center will be the company's first production and development base to adopt a base isolation structure, and we will strive to build buildings that can withstand accidents and natural disasters such as fires and earthquakes.

BCP (Business Continuity Planning) is a set of plans that can help companies minimize losses and help them continue or resume business when disasters and other emergencies occur.

"Base isolation structure" is a structure that installs isolation devices such as laminated rubber between the ground and the building to prevent shaking caused by earthquakes from being directly transmitted to the building. Even if the foundation shakes violently, the seismic isolation device can absorb the shaking of the ground, so that the building will not shake violently with the foundation but will shake slowly to prevent damage and maintain the functions of the building.
