P&G/Gillette is undertaking the most significant renovation of its World Shaving
Headquarters in its 100-year history. When complete, the 33-acre site, located in
South Boston, will house P&G/Gillette's Research and Development, Engineering,
Manufacturing, Marketing and business support.
To mark the significance of this endeavor, the Company is launching a single-phased
design competition for a signature sculpture or landmark icon to mark the entry to
the World Shaving Headquarters complex.
Design professionals and students are encouraged to submit designs that reflect the
essence of the Gillette brand and draws inspiration from the Company's shaving
product innovation and manufacturing technology. All designs should reinforce the
P&G/Gillette corporate identity, enhance the newly designed campus, and contribute
positively to the South Boston community.
The chosen art piece will serve as a welcome to employees and visitors, as well as a
beacon for the South Boston neighborhood.
