I remember their River North office was super generic office space.
Their current space used to be a cold storage warehouse that took over a year to defrost, and it was insulated with horsehair! They spent plenty of money to do it right.
This building is an iconic design but during construction they cheaped-out on the windows and HVAC, and then they didn’t do a whole lot of required maintenance. If Google does it right this time too, they are going to get a lot of goodwill from the architecture crowd.
