IBM Rochester ... 50 years and counting
This year, the IBM development and manufacturing facility in Rochester, MN will commemorate 50 years.
In fact, it was 50 years ago today (February 8, 1956) that Thomas J. Watson, Jr., announced plans to establish the manufacturing, engineering and education facility in Rochester. Groundbreaking was July 31, 1956.
The two-story facility built on 397 acres has an unusual, but appealing design. The architect was Eero Saarinen.
