The John Deere World Headquarters is a complex of four buildings located on 1,400 acres (570 ha) of land[1] at One John Deere Place, Moline, Illinois, United States.
[2] The complex serves as corporate headquarters for agricultural heavy equipment company John Deere.
The buildings were designed by the Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, who died before its construction was complete, only four days after he signed the contract for the newest buildings.
It was built according to Deere & Company President William Hewitt's instructions using COR-TEN weathering steel—one of the first architectural applications of the material—which gave the building an earthy look as it oxidized and aged.
The design picked up an ASLA Classic Award in 1991 for its "archetypal corporate setting".
