It was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki and completed in 1965. The building is known for its striking white‑quartz concrete columns about 63 slender columns that support an eighty‑foot high portico at one entrance. The design mixes modern architecture with formal, classical touches. Between the columns are thin marble panels (Verde‑antique marble) and dark tinted glass, which give the facade a refined appearance. There are reflecting pools and landscaped areas around the building, plus a grand porch/entrance that frames views down Nicollet Mall.

Visual Termination / City Planning: The building is purposely placed so that its portico serves as a visual terminus for Nicollet Mall. In other words, the sightline down Nicollet Mall ends at the building’s portico towards the direction of the Mississippi River. Interior features: Originally, the top floor housed the company president’s office, decorated richly (rosewood, teak, large doors, etc.), and the cafeteria was on that level with arched windows and bright colors. There was also a large sculpture “Sunlit Straw” by Bertoia in the lobby. midterm
