Facebook announced the expansion of its Menlo Park, California headquarters in 2012 and the new campus is near completion with its employees starting to move in to this impressive new estate recently, Business Insider reports.
Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry who also designed Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall and Spain’s Guggenheim Museum, the new building is a massive project and will reflect on the company’s reputation as a forefront in technological innovation.
“Mark Zuckerberg and I met three years and a handful months ago, and with incredible speed for this size of construction project, he’s moving into his building this month,” Gehry said in a statement reported by Business Insider.
“From the start, Mark wanted a space that was unassuming, matter-of-fact and cost effective. He did not want it overly designed.”
A fantastic piece of real estate. Very large and just a large as UCLA.
The rooftop of the building is converted into a park. Really creative in design.
The campus will be a hub for the best and brightest in the world to incubate and lay their best ideas for the future.
I think the rooftop is a mini golf course.
Facebook is really a nice company to work at. You have such a big and beautiful estate to work in.
