Welcome to St. John’s Terminal | New Google office in NYC

Take a look inside St. John's Terminal, Google's newest office in New York City. We've adapted this historic freight train terminal (the original end of NYC's High Line) into an innovative workplace designed around teams first, with multiple floors dedicated to working alongside our clients and business partners. St. John's Terminal was also built for a sustainable future, with solar panels, stormwater retention, and roughly 1.5 acres of native vegetation that supports local bird and insect species.

So comfortable, you never want to leave. Good idea, feed them breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Who needs a family when Google's got you :)

Distraction free zones for focused work are also important.

Well, it's been invented decades ago. It's called university campus. I often wondered why campuses are so open, designed for people to meet, have a good time and collaborate, but workspaces are tiny separated cubicles designed for you to suffer in silence and talk to the man across the table through a headset. For me, a rule of the thumb for workspace would be if I found this new book I want to read, would I rather read it at home or somewhere at my workspace? I figured it out at college where I sometimes had to wait hours for classes and instead of going home, I was frequently tempted to rather stay at campus and read something interesting. Most universities have that in common and most great campuses kind of look like the Google's NYC office.

Looks like a nice place to hangout with co workers once in a while. But to get actual deep work done, there's not place like the home office.

Looks cool. This might make me go to the office 1 day in the week, but even in a beautiful office, the fake laughing/talking also shown in this video is exhausting

it’s kinda funny how google is making this video about doing great things for their employees, i think it would’ve been much better for your employees to have not laid off 12, 000+ of them. and then do billions in stock buybacks just to spit in their face

Love the "The Office" style shots. Fitting.

Once, we used to say 'research on the internet', but now it's 'Google it'.
This is the incredible impact Google and Googlers have had.
AMAZING!
keep up doing well.

I see all the hate in the comments, but this place is awesome. Especially if you’ve lived in NYC this place is an amazing place to work. That nature is priceless in the city.

I was part of construction on this job. From the demo phase till pretty much the end of the job.

This all seems like it could be done remote without workers having to commute into downtown manhatten.

Nothing screams "focus" and "productivity" like an open layout with a bunch of IKEA tables, uncomfortable modern couches, and a coffee shop. I bet they can't wait to prop their feet on that coffee table for 8 hours while sitting on that cheap chair while squinting at their laptop with its fan at full blast because it's balancing on their legs blocking the fan intake. It sure beats having your own pesky cubicle with a dual monitor setup, your own desk, personal storage, etc

I love it. 1+1 = 3, as long as you do not push it extreme... The goal is to build great things that change and improve the world...

[ebenezersam]

Hopefully, one day I would work here!

[rosskline]

Love the concept! Makes me want to work there.

Kept on walking past this, looks beautiful! Also, I love adding shots from the older handheld cam.

[jeremyude]

Great shot composition, cinematography and color grading on that video as well. The style mix of long exposure shots, camcorder and locked off shots is awesome!

[Bbb-byst]

is it the filter or the weather that makes the sky and the environment look gloomy? is this kind of weather common in new york? as a californian, i would be depressed within a week working in this office.

When I got in that place for the first time, it felt very unique. My hard work paid off.

[mohitnegi]

They say it's home for employees, and then they lay them off. Isn't it ironic? Looks like Google is going to pay the cost of this construction through employee layoffs.
