On Monday morning “The Delaware Root,” from Delaware sculptor Steve Tobin was unveiled at its new headquarters west of Wilmington.
The Delaware Root will be the centerpiece of the new global headquarters and a reminder of the heroic acts of CSC employees on that day.
On September 11, 2001, CSC staff escaped the 87th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. All of the company’s employees on site that morning survived the attacks, despite being on the upper floors of the doomed building.
