<p>The renovation of the two-block-long former rail terminus yields a total of 1.3 million square feet of new offices. Another nine stories were added above the existing structure. The building will house some 3,000 employees of the tech giant, who said in a <a href="https://blog.google/inside-google/life-at-google/google-nyc-st-johns-terminal-office/" target="_blank">blog post</a> that its design is responsive to a research-driven office strategy and supports a new workplace model that’s meant to foster greater collaboration, creativity, and growth. </p>
