Microsoft announced a major overhaul of its 500-acre campus in Redmond, Washington, that will add 17 new buildings, 6.7 million square feet of revamped work space, trails and sports fields in four “villages.”
The transformation, which includes outdoor work spaces and treehouses, will enable Microsoft to add 8,000 more employees.
Some original buildings will be replaced but one thing won’t change — “Lake Bill,” the pond outside Building 4 that Bill Gates’ office once overlooked, will remain.
