Natural Daylight From Every Desk and Outside Air

Unlike my past experiences in concrete office buildings with little to no windows, workers that go into the Google’s Bay View campus will be able to enjoy “natural daylight and views outside from every desk.” That doesn’t mean that every desk will be near a window, though. Google said it will use clerestory windows, or rows of windows above eye level, with automated window shades to shine light on desks throughout the day.

Besides natural light, Googlers will also enjoy fresh outside air at work courtesy of Bay View’s ventilation system. The system uses 100% outside air and only flows one way.
