Ford Motor Company has officially opened its new world headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan, moving from the Glass House to a larger facility. The new headquarters spans 2.1m square feet, more than double the size of the previous building. CEO Jim Dobleski said: “It is a major game changer for us,” as he highlighted a focus on collaboration and efficiency. The design includes open spaces, courtyards, and areas for vehicle design which aim to enhance teamwork among employees. The building is expected to accommodate 4,500 to 5,000 workers by 2027, and foster a more active and productive environment.
