Norfolk Southern Headquarters
Norfolk Southern’s new headquarters in Midtown Atlanta, known as “Project Fusion,” is a modern, state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance collaboration, innovation, and sustainability. Situated in the heart of Tech Square, the 750,000-square-foot campus features two glass towers connected by a campus-style hub and offers employees a range of amenities, including a 24/7 fitness center, on-site daycare, and a restaurant-style food hall. Built to LEED Gold standards and incorporating advanced technology such as touchless systems and hospital-grade air filtration, construction on the headquarters began in 2019 and it officially opened in November 2021. The building reinforces Norfolk Southern’s historic ties to Atlanta, dating back to the mid-1840s, while showcasing its vision for a technology-driven future in rail transportation.
