Seems as if building new, fancy properties is quickly becoming the norm within the tech sector. Following in both Apple (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/steve-jobs-reveals-apples-new-spaceship-campus-calls-it-the-b/) and Google's (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/22/googles-future-42-acre-bayview-home-gets-its-own-vanity-fair/) spacious footsteps, Facebook too will be looking to amplify its California-based headquarters -- and now it's received the OK from Menlo Park authorities to commence turning Frank Gehry's (http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/23/frank-gehrys-concept-car/) design vision into a reality. The second campus itself is set to boast nearly 434,000 square feet in total and be built across 22 acres, which will be plenty of space to house anything from a rooftop park to an underground tunnel which leads to Facebook's existent abode (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/facebook-hq-menlo-park-expansion/). As for city council members, they seem to be rather pleased by Zuck's proposed construction, with one Kirsten Keith expressing how she "feels very lucky that we'll have a Frank Gehry building here." Well then, cheers all around.
