Inscription.
The T.E.A.M. Building (Technical, Engineering and Manufacturing) was constructed in 1955 as a machine shop and construction facility.

It was here that the first "Imagineers" created the steam locomotives, the original monorail system, and all of the early attractions for a new theme park, Disneyland. In 1962-1964, Audio-Animatronics was developed in this building for the first time. Projects like Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and It's a Small World were constructed for the 1964 New York World's Fair. In the 1970's, advanced film projection systems were developed here for EPCOT Center and Disneyland attractions Star Tours and Space Mountain.

Throughout its history, the T.E.A.M. building has been a center of innovative ideas and creative engineering.

The building was renovated in 1995 as an office facility and continues its service to the Walt Disney Studios as the home of Hollywood Records.

Erected by The Walt Disney Studios.
