Campus tours show off unique spaces
There might be the perception out there that Microsoft is a digital fortress that houses dimly lit offices and cubbyholes where zombie employees zone out coding all day while drinking mass quantities of free soda. Nothing could be further from the truth! Well okay we do drink free soda, but we’ve also developed some pretty interesting and aesthetically pleasing work environments that support the creativity of ‘Softies as they work on innovative and technologically diverse products.
One way to experience these spaces and places is by taking this campus tour with our friend Steve Clayton over at Next at Microsoft. He just completed a series of tours showing off some of our more unique work areas on our Redmond Campus.
After taking a revealing look at the seldom shown Microsoft Home , he pulls back the covers on his own unique work space before taking us over to the Microsoft Model Shop. This is arguably one of the coolest places on our campus where they produce prototype hardware for products such as the Arc Mouse.
He rounds out the series with a tour of the Visitor’s Center and a tricked out map of our Redmond campus.
Through all of this you can get a great look at the physical spaces we occupy on a daily basis, but you also can’t help but get a feel for what people are working on in these places. And that’s truly where all the magic happens!
