Every corner of the Google campus breathes creaOvity with a design that gives employees efficient workflow and an even beSer work life. Google is known for its dedicaOon to creaOvity and collaboraOon in the workplace. The urban and social floor plan intenOonally maximizes work engagement. The atrium, for example, is designed to be the most social area, becoming gradually quieter toward the perimeter window-‐workstaOons. MeeOng rooms, war rooms, and phone booths are strategically placed in between to buffer noise and acOvity from lounge and workstaOon areas. Commitment to collaboraOon is upheld with a clean, urban design for various break-‐out and gathering spaces. The result is a creaOve, social workspace that stays at the forefront of design and innovaOon. The Google brand is strong throughout the space, giving Googlers a meaningful experience through intenOonal design.

As one of the last buildings to receive a major upgrade at the Mountain View campus, the project held many opportuniOes – from unravelling the defragmented layouts where Googlers at the same floor felt like strangers, to exposing the rich building infrastructure and connecOng it back to the majesOc redwood trees that the buildings are nestled within. A horizontally layered planning facilitate interacOon by placing the most social areas at the center of the two buildings, and transiOoning outward to quieter open office workstaOons. This created a natural plaza where Googlers gathered, ate, played games, and shared ideas. All within a daylit space with uninterrupted views. A physics Omeline was developed to weave through the two buildings and encourage Googlers to travel through each space and discover important dates in history. This was intersected and peppered with the history of Art, Sports and ExploraOon, allowing Googlers to discover other significant events that may have scienOfic confluence. .
