The company is building a giant addition to their headquarters, and a giant park to go along with it. That park just happens to be on the roof.
Like so many tech companies flush with cash, Facebook is expanding its headquarters in grand fashion–in this case, to a second campus that connects to the main one in Menlo Park, California. Architect Frank Gehry is designing the building (Warning: That PDF takes a long time to load), which Facebook describes as “a large, one room building that somewhat resembles a warehouse.” But we’re not so much interested in the interior of this particular building than what’s on top of it: a giant green roof that spans most of the 433,555 square foot structure.
It’s less a green roof than an entire park. It will include oak trees, a walking trail, furniture to lounge on–and like Google’s planned green roof, it will have kiosks and cafes, according to Greenbiz.
