HQ with a view

Trust Google to do things differently. The technology giant is setting up its new headquarters in Mountain View, California. Nicknamed Googleplex, the proposed office will be spread over 500 acre with 2.5 million square feet accommodating 12,000 employees. Instead of concrete, the HQ will be built with lightweight block-like structures that can be easily moved around to address future needs. While wetlands and oak trees will dot the complex, what’s interesting is that Google has gone for 100% renewable power — the entire campus will run on 43 MW of wind power.
