Here are some facts from Toyota and Ezra Loh, an architectural intern at Corgan, about the new headquarters:
- The facility includes more than 12 acres of glass, 1,200 tons of Texas limestone and 1,700 tons of reinforcing steel, and thousands of workers are on-site daily.
- Of those workers, more than 2,000 are pouring concrete daily.
- The amount of concrete poured is equivalent to the length of 477 AT&T Stadiums.
- The 12 acres of glass is approximately 50,000 2017 Tacoma truck windshields.
- The amount of Texas limestone used will equal the weight of 340 Texas-built Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition trucks.
- Solar panels on-site will produce 7.75 megawatts of electricity, or 30 percent of the campus’s energy consumption. Texas wind farms will generate the remaining electricity.
- No chemicals, artificial irrigation or fertilizers will be used for the drought-tolerant landscaping.
- There are 10 rain-collection barrels on the campus that will each hold 10,000 gallons of water for irrigation.
- There will be an on-campus dining facility offering a variety of options, including sushi.
