Facebook Expands Base With New Sunnyvale Campus

SUNNYVALE, CA — Facebook launched its fourth campus in the San Francisco Bay Area Wednesday with a planned dignitary-filled social engagement worthy of one of the most successful tech companies in the Silicon Valley.

The Menlo Park-based social media giant opens its second Sunnyvale location with Mayor Larry Klein among others getting a sneak peek of the new campus in the evening.

Facebook opened its first Sunnyvale building in August 2019, with two more structures moving in by March 2021.

"We’re thrilled to open our office in Sunnyvale and begin building relationships with the Sunnyvale community," said Juan Salazar, Facebook's director of local policy and community engagement. "We’re focused on playing a positive role and investing in the vitality of the communities in which we’re based out of."

The new campus will host a mix of new hires and relocated team members from Facebook’s Infrastructure, Artificial Reality/Virtual Reality, Recruiting, Facilities, Global Operations and Legal teams.

Each building is LEED Gold certified throughout its eight floors. The campus, once completed, will feature two cafés and 739 conference and work rooms over a million square feet. The construction costs are undisclosed.

In partnership with Sunnyvale, the campus will be the first in the city to ban single-use water bottles. Instead, it will offer water-filling stations on each floor of the campus located at 1180 Discovery Way in Sunnyvale.

With this opening, Facebook said it is excited to begin building relationships with the Sunnyvale community across the areas of economic opportunity, STEM education and community building.
