SAN JOSE \u2014 Google has officially launched its newest Bay Area campus, a San Jose tech hub that\u2019s big enough to accommodate thousands of the search giant\u2019s workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis establishes north San Jose as an innovation hub for Google,\u201d said Scott Foster, vice president and head of real estate and workplace services with Google. \u201cThis is our largest campus in San Jose.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tech titan\u2019s new campus, known as Meadow Point<\/a>, has sprouted near the corner of North First Street and Nortech Parkway in the Alviso district of north San Jose.<\/p>\n

The San Jose innovation hub that Google has opened consists of 10 buildings, including six office buildings, a lab site and three industrial buildings. The office spaces are large enough for 3,000 to 4,000 Google employees and together total just under 800,000 square feet. Google is developing another building at the campus. That building should be open sometime in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have hit it out of the park with the environment you have created\u201d at Meadow Point, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday to formally launch the tree- and plant-filled campus. \u201cGoogle takes such pride in the spaces you create, how you treat the workers and the communities you are in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meadow Point also includes three big industrial buildings<\/a> where the search giant could conduct advanced research and laboratory work. Google employees have been working in some of the lab and research buildings on Disk Drive for a few years.<\/p>\n

The tech company has located its Google Core team at the San Jose campus, according to Foster.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s Core team is responsible for building the technical foundation behind Google\u2019s flagship products, protecting users\u2019 online safety, and maintaining the company\u2019s global IT infrastructure, said Jen Fitzpatrick, senior vice president for Google Core. The key products include Search, Gmail, and YouTube.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a pleasure over the last few weeks to see our team dock at this gorgeous new space and to see the spark of new energy and collaboration that comes from being together in a new environment,\u201d said Jen Fitzpatrick, senior\u00a0vice president for Google Core Systems & Experiences.<\/p>\n

Google provided a tour of the primary office complex within the campus, two curving office buildings whose centerpieces include a meadow, trees, plants, vegetation and open spaces that Mahan described as being like \u201ca botanic garden.\u201d<\/p>\n

The buildings attempt to connect Google\u2019s workers to that sort of environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe views from the buildings are great,\u201d said Eugene Hu, one of the project executives for the Meadow Point campus. \u201cEverybody gets natural views.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two main office buildings, located at 4300 and 4400 North First St., hearken to Alviso\u2019s man-made evolution, including boats and canneries, and the natural environment of the sloughs, marshes, creeks and rivers of the San Jose district at the south end of San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a homage to the great community of Alviso,\u201d San Jose City Councilmember David Cohen said. \u201cWhat you have done on this campus is remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoogle\u2019s Meadow Point campus reinforces that North San Jose remains one of Silicon Valley\u2019s premier employment centers,\u201d said Bob Staedler, principal executive with Silicon Valley Synergy, a land-use consultancy.<\/p>\n

Google employees began moving into the North First Street office buildings around April 27. More employees are expected to occupy the company\u2019s Nortech Parkway buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are invested in the success of the city,\u201d Google executive Foster said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN JOSE \u2014 Google has officially launched its newest Bay Area campus, a San Jose tech hub that\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311027,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[12994,184,387,7,8,3010,383,14624,97869,1286,1533,181,100,388,88,90,89,5406,198,94685,200,1970,77],"class_list":["post-311026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-alviso","tag-bay-area","tag-business","tag-california","tag-california-news","tag-commercial-real-estate","tag-economy","tag-google","tag-google-san-jose","tag-jobs","tag-keywee","tag-latest-headlines","tag-news","tag-real-estate","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-san-jose-real-estate","tag-santa-clara-county","tag-social-alert","tag-south-bay","tag-technology","tag-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
