Google occupies the award-winning Frank Gehry designed outer structure on Main Street in Venice. The site consists of 3 buildings with 3 different landlords, grouped into one large campus. Everything was initially gutted to the walls, leaving the landmark Gehry “binoculars” intact. A full cafeteria was installed, along with massage suites, workout rooms and an outdoor amphitheater. This building achieved LEED Platinum status. We faced a couple of challenges here in that the infrastructure for the cafeteria was difficult to design and install in the existing configuration on the ground floor, and the project was on an extremely fast-track schedule, in addition to being a LEED Platinum certified structure.
