On Tuesday, Google officially opens its long-awaited Bay View campus in Mountain View, Calif. The 1.1 million square-foot, four-building complex is the company’s first-ever, ground-up large-scale development project.
“This is taking everything we’ve learned over the past 20 years and doing something ourselves,” says David Radcliffe, Google’s vice president of real estate and workplace services.
The Bay View complex is in part a symbol of Google’s ongoing commitment to the physical office, even as its workers move to a hybrid schedule with three days a week in the office and two at home. The company has said it will invest $9.5 billion in offices and data centers in 2022 alone.
