It's all part of what may be the office of the future -- part pandemic-inspired, part Google trying stuff out.
Michelle Kaufman, director of what Google calls "built environment," gave NBC Bay Area an exclusive tour of several warehouses full of experiments aimed at figuring out the future of the workplace.
The tech giant is trying new designs out for when a number of Google employees move into a massive building being put together in Mountain View, but also keeping in mind that close to 20% of the company's workforce is likely to stay home.
"We're doing what we usually do, which is experimenting, piloting, prototyping, testing, getting feedback from Googlers," Kaufman said.
