Owens Corning World Headquarters
Toledo,Oh.
The Owens Corning World Headquarters complex contains a 275-seat auditorium, a full-service conference center, a 400-seat dining facility and gourmet company store, a full-service health and fitness center, a medical center/employee assistance facility and a full-service credit union. The site includes walking trails, exercise stations, a softball field, gazebo and a campus-style courtyard.
The serpentine wall of the Owens Corning World Headquarters was designed by Cesar Pelli to echo the trace of the Mawnee River.The whole building is amazing and unique to say the least.I was fortunate to work on this building during the construction and managed to stay on as a maintenance painter.
The Big Red "sharks fin" Arc on the buildings entrance is completely hollow inside.It is finished with around a million 1 in. red tiles and around 70 porthole windows.
