Panel Fixed Point Aluminum Halter Clips - 48,204 each.Panel Thermal Halter Clips - 194,740 each.Number Of Individual Roof Areas (Canopies) - 120 each.The concave shape of the roof surfaces was architecturally designed as segmented decking. The unique architectural roofline design has created engineering, manufacturing and construction challenges.
Looking up from the inside, the flowing roof levels and steel superstructure of the overhead canopy evoke the feeling of being inside a giant tent structure. Between the different levels of these canopies are glass clerestories that allow natural light into the workspaces. The roof systems collectively are comprised of one-hundred twenty (120) massive, individual concave squares, triangles, kite shapes and rectangles (called canopy bays) that seem to drape gracefully downward like enormous organic leaves. The erected steel and the roof canopies soar to over 160 feet above the ground. The Bay View structures are part of the multi-building complex located on NASA’s Moffett Field while the Charleston East Campus has one large central structure. These four structures are as unique in design and engineering as any in the area.
The new Google buildings join other notable mega-companies in the area that are not only transforming technology and communications but also building one-of- a-kind architectural landmarks. Unlike the existing buildings it now occupies, these new multi-building complexes are visually striking, skyline changing and an engineering challenge on almost every level.
One at Charleston East (in the midst of their current HQ campus) and the second on NASA’s Moffett Field a couple of blocks away. Google is in the final phases of building two new campuses in Mountain View, CA.
