Toyota Motor North America has unveiled architectural renderings of its future North American headquarters in Plano, Texas, providing new details of the site layout and exterior design of its ‘environmentally sensitive’ corporate campus.
“In support of the company’s ‘One Toyota’ vision, the renderings reveal buildings and outdoor spaces designed to create a collaborative environment that encourages discovery, transparency and creativity,” the automaker said in a statement.

“Bringing our team members together at this striking and inspiring new campus in Plano will help Toyota become a more cohesive, collaborative and innovative company so we can serve our customers better,” said Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota’s North America region.
Designed by Corgan Associates, the proposed Toyota campus in Plano includes:
- Seven buildings, up to five stories tall, arranged around a large central plaza that serves as the literal and symbolic heart of all social and business functions – including dining, fitness, and conferencing facilities;
- Building facades that are predominantly glass, with generous roof overhangs along the southern exposures to cast shade;
- Local and regional materials and low-water plantings that reflect the native landscapes of North Central Texas;
- Water features for catchment and storage of water for irrigation; and
- Parking structures and office buildings that can support solar panels for renewable energy production.
“Our work with some of the best designers, builders, architects – along with important input from our own team members – has inspired our thinking around how our new facilities can support and enhance the One Toyota Experience,” said Lentz. “We also want to ensure our new headquarters supports Toyota’s commitment to the environment through sustainable, environmentally sensitive and design, materials, features and efficiencies.”
Toyota intends to pursue LEED Platinum certification for the campus, the highest level of certification possible by the US Green Building Council.
