By any stretch of the imagination building 4 on our main campus in Redmond is old. It was one of the first buildings occupied by Microsoft when we moved here in 1986. Bill Gates even had his first office here overlooking the pond we now affectionately refer to as Lake Bill. So it only seems natural that it was time for this building to undergo an extensive remodel. And even more fitting that, the very place where Microsoft started off, is now home to our grass roots innovation incubator called The Garage.

Now, thanks to our friends over at Channel 9, you get to have a first-hand video tour of the changes that were made to building 4. What goes into making a building functional, enjoyable and tailor-made for kick starting creativity? John Snavely gives Channel 9’s Nic Fillingham a tour of the transformed workspaces that some ‘Softies now call their home away from home.

If you are interested in opportunities working in building 4 or any of our other locations, make sure to apply for open positions at Microsoft Careers.
