Toyota Unveils Design for New North American Headquarters in Plano

PLANO, TEXAS — Toyota Motor North America has unveiled architectural renderings of its future North American headquarters, providing new details of the site layout and exterior design of its corporate campus. Designed by Corgan Associates, the architectural renderings offer a number of different perspectives and details of the proposed Toyota campus. The complex will include seven buildings, up to five stories tall, arranged around a central plaza that serves social and business functions such as dining, fitness and conferencing. Building facades are predominantly glass, with roof overhangs along the southern exposures to cast shade. The design utilizes local and regional materials and low-water plants that reflect the native landscapes of north-central Texas, along with water features for catching and storing water for irrigation and parking structures and office buildings that can support solar panels for renewable energy production. Toyota intends to pursue LEED Platinum certification for the campus.
