Shinfield Studios Car Park

Growth phase in the film industry brings with it a need for storage space.

Shinfield Studios, the largest new film and TV studio project in the UK according to our client, was completed in early 2024 with 18 soundstages, 38 workshops, extensive and modern office space, a multi-storey car park and a 9-acre backlot for filming. It is owned by Shadowbox, one of the industry’s leading independent film and television studio platforms that designs, owns and operates purpose-built soundstage facilities.

The studio site is located near Reading in Berkshire, around 48 kilometres from central London. Ideally located to the side of the M4, it is a 30-minute drive from Heathrow Airport.

Shinfield Studios Car Park

Studio’s employees car park

Designed, planned, and built by Huber Parking for the studio’s employees, this multi-storey car park with 601 parking bays is located at the side of the studio complex. The building was handed over to the client in May 2023. The multi-storey car park has 6 levels. 54 of the available parking spaces are designated for electric vehicles. A custom-designed ramp leads directly from the access road into the building on level 3. This allows some of the daily traffic to be diverted into the parking garage at an early stage. In addition, the VCM parking garage concept (a type of ramp parking garage) ensures smooth traffic flow within the parking garage during peak times at the beginning and end of shifts.

Two passenger lifts in the main staircase serve all levels; the second staircase at the back of the building is reserved for emergencies.
