Google new headquarters

The Googleplex!

Google's new headquarters, officially known as the Google Bay View campus, is a massive complex located in Mountain View, California. The campus is still under construction, but it's expected to be completed in phases over the next few years. Here are some interesting facts about the new headquarters:

  1. Size: The campus spans over 42 acres, making it one of the largest corporate campuses in the world.
  2. Design: The buildings are designed by Thomas Heatherwick, a British architect, and are inspired by the shapes of clouds and waves. The campus features a mix of low-rise and high-rise buildings, with a total of 1.1 million square feet of office space.
  3. Sustainability: The campus is designed to be highly sustainable, with features like solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and a green roof. It's expected to be net-zero energy, meaning it will produce as much energy as it consumes.
  4. Amenities: The campus will feature a range of amenities, including a fitness center, a cafeteria, a library, and a rooftop garden. There will also be plenty of outdoor spaces, including a park and a plaza.
  5. Art installations: The campus will feature several large-scale art installations, including a 50-foot-tall sculpture made from recycled aluminum cans.
  6. Transportation: The campus will have a dedicated shuttle service and will be connected to the nearby Caltrain station, making it easy for employees to get to work without a car.
  7. Capacity: The campus is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 employees, although it's not clear how many employees will be based there.
  8. Cost: The construction cost of the campus is estimated to be around $15 billion, making it one of the most expensive corporate campuses in the world.
