CIGNA'S WILDE BUILDING
BUILT: 1957
LOCATION: BLOOMFIELD, CT
In 1999 Bloomfield based-Cigna proposed the demolition of the Wilde building, an international styled building designed by Gordon Bunshaft (http://www.buffaloah.com/a/archs/bun.html) built on 450 acres of farmland in 1957. The goal of the campus was to have a campus in a suburban place where people could work, take walks, and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. In 2010 the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Cigna decided to do an estimated $59 million renovation of the building using federal money. The entire Cigna campus was listed on the 11 Most Endangered Historic Places in America until the decision for renovation came forth.
