PPG Place is one of the major distinctive and recognizable features of downtown Pittsburgh. Although it is most well known for its tower, One PPG Place, it is actually a complex of six buildings, all of matching glass design. The complex is named for its main tenant, PPG Industries, one of the world's largest glass manufacturers, which initiated the project in 1979 as its world headquarters.

The building features prominently in the 1999 film Inspector Gadget.
