Well over a year ago, I heard William McDonough was working with Google on some green design plans near the Googleplex (all hush hush-type stuff covered by an NDA).  Since that time, I haven’t really noticed much information on those plans, that is, until I caught this article in Mountain View Voice talking about Google’s extraordinary building plans.  It appears that SHoP Architects coordinated the work of several architectural firms to get these preliminary plans going.  But, for the time being, Google has decided to put the green office structure on hold.

This 310,000 sf building was planned for a location just east of the Googleplex (see site plan below), but it’s only a small cog in the big machine that Google calls the “McDonough Masterplan.”  The office is phase one, and there’s a lot more planned for the future including a hotel, mixed-use urban center, and transit node.

Google submitted their informal building plans to the Mountain View Planning Department recently.  Their intention with the structure was to go beyond LEED Platinum and design something that would “create a benchmark for sustainability and help define new standards for construction.
