Nationwide outgrew its 246 North High Street Building by the 1970s and work began on a new headquarters for the company.
The building is located at the corner of N. High Street and what is now Nationwide Blvd.
[1] The façade is dark vertical steel ribs bordered by white limestone ends which follows the modernist style.
Blue spotlights light the exterior at night in the same color of Nationwide's logo.
In December the interior lights are set so that it reads "happy holidays" to observers of the building, with thematic messages similarly displayed during other holidays and special events such as Columbus Blue Jackets and Ohio State Buckeyes victories and accomplishments.
