TSMC’s Global R&D Centre Taiwan

TSMC’s Global R&D Centre at Hsinchu Science Park reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and leadership in microchip manufacturing. Comprising six buildings and supporting 8,000 employees, it serves as a global collaboration hub and plays a vital role in the company’s R&D strategy.

Working closely with our client, we delivered an integrated approach across space strategy, design, construction, project management and sustainability-aligned with its vision to elevate facilities and the workplace experience.

Embodying vision and purpose through space

The vision for TSMC’s Global R&D Centre extended beyond spatial functionality to embrace a dynamic environment embodying company’s culture while prioritising wellbeing. To achieve this, the project was anchored on three core pillars:

  • Reflecting corporate values: Every space within the centre is designed to reflect TSMC’s core values – integrity, commitment, innovation and customer trust.
  • Creating people-centric environments: The hub promotes comfort, mobility and wellbeing, fostering an atmosphere where people can thrive and work.
  • Meeting diverse needs: The facilities cater to various groups, from employees to visitors and partners, providing tailored experiences that enhance engagement and functionality.

Humanising the space to elevate experiences

Each space is designed to reflect the company’s culture and enable collaboration. From versatile workspaces to inviting, human-centric areas, the hub encourages innovation and teamwork.

In close partnership with TSMC, we explored the cultural and functional purpose of each space. Custom-designed environments, including the experience centre, main lobby, café and shared spaces, meet diverse user needs and create a vibrant community that embodies TSMC’s vision.

Supporting wellbeing and future growth

By maximising natural light and integrating nature and art, the ‘Knowledge Park’ offers a sensory experience that boosts comfort and focus. Amenities like a modern gym, varied dining options and relaxation areas enhance the employee experience.

The modular design across floors keeps the centre adaptable to future growth and changing business needs. A flexible approach streamlines construction and allows for easy modifications, supporting TSMC’s long-term growth strategy.

Leveraging technology to optimise project delivery

Throughout design and construction, we addressed technical challenges with advanced tools like 4D modelling, ensuring seamless coordination while keeping stakeholders informed at every stage. This approach enabled transparent project delivery, with every detail visualised and refined in close collaboration with the client.
