Employees will begin work at Toyota Motor North America's new headquarters in Plano on May 15, the company confirmed Wednesday to Community Impact Newspaper.

Toyota spokesperson Aaron Fowles said in an email the company will begin moving about 250 team members and corporate partners per week into the new facility at Legacy West, even as construction continues throughout parts of the campus.

Although the date represents the start of the broader transition, some company employees have already been working on-site.

"In April we had a contingent of Toyota team members and corporate partners co-locate with the construction contractors to facilitate a smooth handoff of buildings and systems as well as make final preparation prior to the move-in," Fowles wrote.

The company plans to hold a grand opening event "in the near future," Fowles wrote. The event would be by invitation only.
