In 2019, Microsoft will reopen its newly modernized Silicon Valley campus in Mountain View in a drive to keep technology workers excited about working within one of the most expensive and congested areas in the U.S.

By most accounts, the complex off of Highway 101 and Shoreline Boulevard, comprising almost 15 acres, will be an impressive project. An integrated water management system will only use municipal water sources for sinks and water fountains.

Any water used for irrigation, plumbing and sewage systems will be collected and treated from an onsite water treatment plant. Rainwater, storm water, wastewater and grey water will be collected from just about anywhere, from roofs to kitchens to even runoff from paved areas.

The technology giant claims that the complex’s green building street cred will be further boosted by ample solar power, a four-acre green living roof and other design aspects that will allow the entire project to be certified as LEED Platinum upon completion.
