Innovation Curve Unveiled at Former Facebook Campus in Stanford Research Park

The final buildings at the 13.5-acre Innovation Curve Technology Park at Stanford Research Park have delivered. Sand Hill Property Company’s newly completed LEED Platinum-certified 288,000-square-foot project contributes to the site’s reputation as an aspirational campus for tenants involved with computer gaming, translation software, and digital inventions.

The facility comprises four buildings arranged around a central landscaped courtyard. Diagonal pedestrian paths lead from adjacent streets through the property, which was formerly the site of Facebook’s campus.

Designed by San Francisco-based Form4 Architecture, the project serves as a hub for technology industry professionals and the greater Silicon Valley community. The design incorporates the tech industry’s “evolution of innovation” curve on the buildings’ façades. The sweeping metal curves serve as architectural metaphors for the peaks and valleys of exploratory research, innovation, and development.

Form4 Architecture’s John Marx, AIA, says, “This sustainable complex is an important part of the Silicon Valley community. It’s ground zero for technological discovery in a near-net-zero working environment.”
