Google Signs Lease for 42.2 Acres at NASA Ames
NASA and Google signed an agreement that allows Google to lease 42.2 acres at NASA Ames to build a high technology campus. Plans for the campus include 1.2 million square feet of office and R&D space, as well as company housing and dining, sports, fitness, child care, conference, and park facilities. The preliminary site analysis was done by renowned environmental architect William McDonough + Partners.
