Completed in 2020, Microsoft’s Silicon Valley Headquarters transforms a five-building office park into a vibrant, interconnected campus. Designed by WRNS, the project restores the local ecosystem while reusing 36% of existing structures — significantly reducing both construction and operational carbon footprints.
