Do you ever wonder where the new Kia models that Pence Kia carries at 11901 Midlothian Turnpike, Midlothian, VA get their incredible good looks from? It all starts at the Kia Design Center America, in Irvine, California. There, under the guidance of chief design officer Peter Schreyer, Kia designers and engineers work to ensure that every Kia sold looks as good as it drives... And that's quite well.
It goes without saying that we feel they've done a great job. But what about the rest of the world? Apparently they agree. Specifically, the Architectural Record has given the Kia Design Center America their prestigious "Good Design is Good Business Award," in recognition of the hard work that goes into creating a positive word environment through architecture and design.
"Kia Motors' U.S. corporate campus proves that thoughtful, rational design can be a powerful engine for business growth and talent retention," says Brian Lee of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, who helped design the campus. "The project exemplifies SOM's commitment to provide our clients with high-performance design that adds value to their brand and expresses their corporate identity."1
Other ways that Kia tries to inspire creativity in its employees? They do so through a wide range of beneficial features, such as a state-of-the-art workout facility and on-site cafeteria, both of which are designed to make work as comfortable as possible. It sounds to us like Kia knows how to treat their employees right. And who are we to argue with the results? Come see them for yourself by test driving the Kia you've been eyeing today!
