Behind the Scenes: Outdoor Spaces at L.L.Bean HQ 

At L.L.Bean, our love for the outdoors begins inside our walls. So at our new HQ in Freeport, Maine, we built a connection to nature right into the campus, with expansive views, natural light, outdoor meeting areas, public trails and a 10,000-square-foot courtyard - complete with fire pits.
"From the beginning, this project was about honoring L.L.’s love of the outdoors with a modern, energy-efficient, and light-filled space," said Shawn Gorman,  L.L.Bean Executive Chairman and great-grandson of Leon Leonwood Bean. "We thought it was only fitting to have a headquarters that brings the outside in for our employees."
