Google is Preparing a $82 Million on its Own Airport

In the futuristic project Google Glass, dedicated to innovative augmented reality glasses co-founder Sergey Brin is regularly seen in public, wearing one of the neat working prototypes. In particular, he recently boasted these glasses in the subway. But not so simple the company, as it was known at the moment Google is interested in the opportunity to build its own airport. Yes its true they are interested in building the airport just to bring an innovation in the history of companies having their own airports.

t is assumed that the airport Google will be built in the city of San Jose (USA, pieces. Calif.), it will cost the company $ 82 million. Project development and construction of the object assigned to Signature Aviation, the customer stands Blue City Holdings, the brand represents Google . It will be a full-fledged airport serving only aircraft owned by, and for posting guidelines provide a separate terminal.

By the way, nothing surprising in this initiative is not, as of 2011 available to Google was 8 own aircraft, and there is no doubt that by now the size of the fleet has grown. But the work of Google is its own airport since 2005.

The New Google Office in Tel Aviv

Google has recently moved into an incredible new office space Tel Aviv, Israel. Designed by Camenzind Evolution, in collaboration with Setter Architects and Studio Yaron Tal, the impressive 85,000 sqft campus occupies 8 floors in Electra Tower.  With incredible views of the city, the space is set primed for not only giving employees the right tools for work, but also those for inspiration and creativity. Colorfully-themed rooms and local styling are something I’ve come to love about Camenzind Evolution’s Google office designs

 “It is a new milestone for Google in the development of innovative work environments: nearly 50% of all areas have been allocated to create communication landscapes, giving countless opportunities to employees to collaborate and communicate with other Googler’s in a diverse environment that will serve all different requirements and needs.

    There is clear separation between the employees traditional desk based work environment and those communication areas, granting privacy and focus when required for desk based individual working and spaces for collaboration and sharing ideas.

    Each floor was designed with a different aspect of the local identity in mind, illustrating the diversity of Israel as a country and nation. Each of the themes were selected by a local group of Googlers, who also assisted in the interpretation of those chosen ideas.

    Being in Israel, for lunch the Googlers can choose from three amazing restaurants, for non-kosher, kosher dairy and kosher meat, each of the restaurants designed to it’s own style and theme.

    Only 7 of the 8 rented floors in Electra Tower are actually occupied by Google. The remaining floor gives space to a new ‘Campus’, which was also opened in December by the Israeli Prime Minister. The ‘Campus Tel Aviv’, powered by Google for Entrepreneurs, is a new hub for entrepreneurs and developers, providing a base for start-up companies, and is only the second Google ‘Campus’ worldwide.

    Sustainability played a vital role to Google in the development of their new Tel Aviv offices and the project is currently awaiting LEED ‘Platinum’ certification, the first of its category in Israel.”
