The Quadrant:MK is Network Rail's national operations centre in Milton Keynes. After being topped out in April 2011,[1] it opened in June 2012.[2][3] The complex consists of four linked buildings with 37,000 square metres (400,000 sq ft) of space, and is designed to accommodate 3,000 staff.[4][5]

The complex was designed by GMW Architects and built by Royal BAM Group.[5] The centre is on the site of the former England National Hockey Stadium, adjacent to Milton Keynes Central railway station and the A509/A5 intersection.[6]
