Building: Google, Bay View Campus Location: Mountain View, California ???? Completed: 2022 Floor area: 1,100,000 sq ft Located in the city of Mountain View, California, the Bay View campus contains two office buildings for Google alongside an events centre. The 1.1-million-square foot campus designed by London based Heatherwick Studio and Danish studio BIG. Each structure is covered in a tent-like roof made up of a system of inward curving panels which were fitted with a combined total of 50,000 Dragonscale silver solar panels that can generate almost 7 megawatts of energy. Automated window shades monitor light throughout the day and open and close when necessary. As a result of Bay View's solar panel skin and nearby wind farms, Google explained that the building will be powered by carbon-free energy 90 per cent of the time. Its solar skin will generate around 40 per cent of its energy needs. The campus has LEED-NC v4 Platinum certification while also becoming the biggest facility to achieve the International Living Future Institute LBC Water Petal Certification a certification that recognises waste and storm water reuse. The campus is surrounded by 17.3 acres of natural landscapes including wetlands, woodlands, and marshlands. Project Team ???
