Boeing International Headquarters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boeing International Headquarters in Chicago is the new home of the Boeing Company, which decided on 10 May 2001 to move to Chicago from Seattle. 100 North Riverside Plaza is poised on the west side of the Chicago River directly across from the downtown Loop. The building responds to the clearance requirements of the site's commuter rail lines with a structural system that uses steel trusses to support the suspended southwest corner of the 36-story, 1.1 million square foot (102,000 square meter) structure. It won the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois' "Most Innovative" Design Award. The building was originally constructed for the Morton Salt Company.
