Google's Mountain View headquarters is no longer a closed campus; it now invites the general public to partake in a new "Visitor Experience," including a cafe, a store, and an event space.
On Thursday, Oct. 12, Google welcomed the public to its facilities, where visitors can enjoy premium dining and activities. The cafe, retail store, and event place were launched at its HQ in Mountain View, California. The opening ceremony was held with the presence of the company's executives and local officials.
The New Establishments Within Google's HQ
CNBC reported that Google's president and chief investment officer, Ruth Porat, is one of the executives who helped cut the ribbon to the stores. The public needs to make a reservation request to use the event space. Once approved, they can convene at the designated area to hold meetings or events.
It should be noted that a reservation is a must because the public cannot simply walk into Google's offices. Visitors may also visit the cafe and retail store and buy tasty food such as sandwiches, desserts, soups, and more.
Google's "Visitor Experience" is Now in Operation
As per ABC7 Chicago, Google created a space for its "visitor experience" event. This first-of-its-kind covers 10,000 square feet of space within the company's Mountain View campus. This will allow the local community to interact with the firm and its workers.
"We really wanted to make a space where we can be together," Michelle Kaufmann, Google's director of R+D for the built environment, said in a statement. "Where it is the mixture of the people who work at Google as well as the people who are our neighbors and people who inspire us."
Google's vice president of workplace programs, Michiel Bakker, further said, "The space you see over here is available for local guests and local communities. All kinds of organizations can book this space as well for local events."
