GOOGLEPLEX, the headquarter for the search giant Google located in Mountain view,CA. The center of most of the recent web innovations benefiting everyone around the world. A place for about 2000 world class developers and researchers known as Googlers where they spend their quality time enriching the entire planet with amazing applications, services and inventions.
Spread over 2 millions square feet area, the company HQ has two swimming pools and eleven cafes within its premises to offer an outstanding work environment to the Googlers. This place was leased by Google in 2003 and then purchased in 2006 for $319 million.
Right after the purchase, the search giant started installing solar panels through out the Googleplex in late 2006, producing 1.6 megawatts of electricity, which is around 30% of the total electricity needed by the entire premises.
The most fascinating place to work with non-comparable facilities where Googlers are encouraged to use 20% of their total time on their own projects which has resulted into the projects like Google News and Orkut.
