What is this structure?

Saw this metal structure on the M1 motorway yesterday, and I shot it from the car window. We couldn’t work out what it was. Any ideas?

@rensala Maybe a building for digital equipment and servers? It doesn't seem like the squares and cubes are set up for humans.

Wow! Pretty cool structure.

Google tells me that they are building a new science park near Loughborough (university) could this be it.
Interesting

It sure is huge, what a great zip by shot.

@wakelys no idea, I googled and couldn’t find anything - I’ll do some more digging

[Boxplayer]

Oh yes we saw this when we drove up on Friday - no idea, presumed it was another of those big warehouses.

[Renee Salamon]

@boxplayer except there’s no floor space - looks like a bunch of cages stuck together

[Renee Salamon]

@ludwigsdiana - thanks

[Renee Salamon]

@sutlivesam - agreed

[Renee Salamon]

@marlboromaam any ideas? Have you seen anything like it in the US?

[Mags]

@rensala Sorry, Renee. I haven't, but I don't get into urban areas very much if I can help it. Perhaps it's going to be all glass when it's said and done.

[Mags]

@rensala Umm... maybe it's the first matrix? LOL!

[Renee Salamon]

@marlboromaam oyyyy

[Korcsog Károly]

Very interesting indeed!

My guess is that it is a fully automated warehouse, check out this Youtube video, especially about 3 mins in where they show the structure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWApW5pSa4M

@laroque - I’m sure you are right, they must be smart robotic warehouses - thank you so much for letting me know

[Ingrid]

Interesting!

[Kathy]

It is a curious structure. Nice shot.

[eDorre]

How neat! Not a clue!

[Sam Sutlive]

@laroque I just watched that video! It is fascinating. I am going to show my coworker at Publix grocery store in the U.S. this. He works in grocery, so he will be very interested in this technology.

— maybe an art installation?,then they will cover it with fabrics after.. …another Christo masterpiece!👌❤️🤣

[Renee Salamon]

@joemuli now that would be something

[Pam]

It is impressive whatever it is.

Not another Amazon warehouse!
