BMW Central Building, Industrial architecture venue in Leipzig, Germany.

The BMW Central Building is a production facility in Leipzig that connects different factory areas together. Elevated conveyor systems move car bodies between the various manufacturing zones throughout the complex.

BMW held a two-phase competition from November 2001, and in March 2002 the jury chose Zaha Hadid's scheme from 25 international architects. Groundbreaking followed in March 2003, steel construction finished in January 2004, and the building opened in May 2005. It received a 2006 RIBA European Award and was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize.

The building brings factory workers and office staff into shared spaces where they work side by side. This closeness breaks down the traditional distance between different groups in the production environment.

The plant lies in the Großzschocher district, about 5 km southeast of Leipzig's centre, between Zscherbener Road (B6) and Schleußiger Road (B181). The complex provides 4,100 parking spaces. The Central Building itself is an active production and office site, so access is arranged through BMW rather than as a public walk-through.

The production line runs openly through office spaces, allowing people at their desks to watch vehicles being made. This design makes manufacturing directly visible to all staff members.
