The social media network has signed a 10-year lease to relocate from its current 55,000-square-foot Madison Avenue office location to a much larger, approximately 100,000 square feet, office at 770 Broadway near Astor Place in early 2014. The new Facebook location is to be designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry. The Canadian-American Pritzker Prize-winning architect is known for his unusual contemporary works of architecture that look more like as works of sculptural art than actual buildings. The structures designed by him make a great statement beyond just a place to live or work. Each of his designs is true out-of-the-box thinking and imagination taken to new levels. The new workplace will be designed in true Facebook fashion of making the environment enjoyable and comfortable. This will be achieved through big and open and spaces for conferences and relaxation where people can meet or grab a white board to talk through ideas on a whim.
