The John Deere World Headquarters is a complex of four buildings located on 1,400 acres (5.7 km²) of land in Moline, Illinois, United States. The complex serves as corporate headquarters for John Deere.
[edit] History
The complex opened on April 20, 1964. The buildings were designed by architect Eero Saarinen, who died before its construction was complete. The project was finished by architect Kevin Roche. It was built using COR-TEN weathering steel, the first architectural application of the material.
[edit] Landscaping
The design for the campus was created by the late Hideo Sasaki of Sasaki Associates landscape architecture firm. The design picked up a ASLA Classic Award in 1991, and is considered by many[who?] to be the archetypal corporate setting.[citation needed]
