Visit To Googleplex - Google Office

The Googleplex is the corporate headquarters complex of Google, Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, United States, near San Jose. Googleplex is a portmanteau of Google and complex, and a reference to googolplex.

The Googleplex is located between Charleston Road, Amphitheatre Parkway, and Shoreline Boulevard in north Mountain View, California close to the Shoreline Park wetlands. Employees living in San Francisco, the East Bay, or South Bay may take a free wifi-enabled Google shuttle to and from work.

The four core buildings, totaling 47,038 square meters (506,310 ft²), were built for and originally occupied by Silicon Graphics (SGI). The office space and corporate campus is located within a larger 26-acre (110,000 m²) site that contains Charleston Park, a 5-acre (20,000 m²) public park; improved access to Permanente Creek; and public roads that connect the corporate site to Shoreline Park and the Bay Trail.

Architecturally, the Googleplex is like a giant playground, not too far off the IKEA crèche.
