Our dedicated staff recently had the opportunity to experience SC Johnson’s world-renowned campus tour in Racine, featuring the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Administration Building and Research Tower—part of the UNESCO World Heritage site “The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright,” designated on July 7, 2019. These architectural landmarks have drawn visitors worldwide since 1939. Offered free of charge, the tours provide a rare glimpse inside historic spaces where bold ideas helped shape both a company and a community.
During our visit, we walked through the soaring Great Workroom, explored the restored mid-century labs where new products were developed, and saw the birthplace of iconic brands like Glade® and OFF!®. Experiencing these places firsthand brought to life the story of how innovation and design have fueled SC Johnson’s global reach while staying deeply rooted in Racine.
We are grateful to SC Johnson for welcoming our team and sharing this extraordinary experience, a reminder of the unique history and enduring impact that make Racine County a place where people and businesses thrive.
