\nWhen thinking of an \u201coffice\u201d we generally see endless rows of cage-like cubicles, a lunch room with vending machines filled with off-brand name refreshments, and meeting rooms conducive to everything but discussion. Tech company Google however sees the flickering fluorescent light. They understand the need to provide a comfortable, relaxed, even intimate work environment, encouraging creativity and openness. Google\u2019s London headquarters recently received a make over to achieve those industry-changing aesthetics. As staff began using the revamped engineering floor, L4, we are offered an envious glimpse into the work atmosphere we constantly day-dream about. Featuring a gym, game room and sound-proof music room allowing employees to blow off some steam during a late lunch break, Google wants its employees to interact freely and artistically, hopefully leading to the next \u201clight bulb\u201d moment or latest and greatest innovation. Also available to employees are multiple cafes\/eateries, Starship Enterprise like corridors complete with whiteboard walls, futuristic seating areas, and a faux indoor park. A very important component to its global operations, Google London will be looking to add hundreds of new employees in the near future, so this dream-like workplace may soon be reality for a select inventive few.<\/p>\n
