It is designed to encourage research and development by private industry, while providing access to numerous amenities including the benefits of leading faculty, an exceptional student population, a local peer community, and national recognition.

The Corporate Center occupies 70 acres of prime real estate on Champaign, Illinois’ growing southern rim. From the gently curving roads to the professional landscaping, ponds, and owner-maintained common areas, the Corporate Center generates a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. Bike paths are included for employee exercise and commuting convenience. In addition, office space signage is controlled to preserve the aesthetics of the surrounding landscape.
