With the hopes of turning industrial Menlo Park, Calif., into a vibrant hub of ideas, Facebook submitted plans to construct two additional offices on 58 acres of land it purchased last year, The Los Angeles Times reports.
The company’s submission came the same week its employees moved into a new Frank Gehry-designed building that features a massive green roof.
According to the Times, the two buildings were also designed by Gehry, and the additions will give the company 985,719 of office and green space built with a similar look, feel, and height to the recently opened one.
To make way for these new buildings, nine buildings on the site would need to be demolished.
The Los Angeles Times has the full report.
