            Summary: Includes exterior and interior views of the Kimberly Clark headquarters complex in Neenah (Wis.). Exterior views show a group of rectangular, glass-box office buildings in a variety of configurations. One three-story building's upper stories rest on pilotis surrounding a ground-level entrance core, another building sits on a fieldstone plinth, and yet another building-- supported by a series of exterior steel frames--cantilevers out over a driveway/parking area. One building's long, glass wall is framed by a terrace at floor level and cantilevered roof deck at the top. Some of the buildings are connected by upper-level, glass-walled passageways. Other exteriors show the complex at night, with buildings lit from within and reflected in a pond. Interior views include a glass-walled lunchroom with exposed roof structure and views over a river, a lobby with Barcelona chairs, and offices with both open-plan areas and cubicles. Interiors also include an executive office and a conference room with a suspended, luminous ceiling. One view from an interior corridor shows an outdoor courtyard that is surrounded by the building's glass walls. Employees are present in many views.
