context_page_description: The Cummins Corporate Office Building in Columbus, Indiana is a modernist office building designed by Kevin Roche. Constructed in 1983, the building serves as the corporate headquarters of the Cummins engine company. It was constructed on an old railroad yard and is unique for being built around the Cerealine Building, which was Cummins' first factory building.
context_section_description: The building is built on a three-block plot of land that formerly served as a rail yard in downtown Columbus. As part of its distinctive construction, Roche built the new precast concrete structure around the original Cerealine Building, which served as Cummins' first factory and administrative offices. The original building was also renovated to serve as the cafeteria for the employees of the company. 
  Roche used precast concrete and glass as his primary building elements in the 200,000 sq ft (19,000 m²) building. Jack Curtis executed the landscaping for the facility, including the large open green area on the eastern side that is open to the public as a park.  As of 2013, it remained in use as Cummins' corporate headquarters.
  In 2017 Cummins began a $50 million dollar renovation of the building, scheduled for completion in 2019.
