Bay View Office Opening
After breaking ground in 2017, our Bay View campus officially opened to Googlers in May 2022. This is the first time we designed and developed one of our major campuses, which allowed us to rethink the very idea of an office and what’s possible for the building industry. The result is a set of buildings that show what’s possible in human-centered and sustainable workplace design.
