Mountain View planning office releases latest renders of Google’s tent-like campus expansion

Google’s expansion plans for its Mountain View HQ have been progressing rather slowly, but the company has now given the go-ahead for local planning officials to release the renders of the structures it hopes to build next to its existing Googleplex head office.

The company originally submitted plans for a combination of one dome-like structure and a second building looking like a giant tent. As BizJournals now reports, the latest version appears to have abandoned the dome in favor of a lower-profile structure designed to blend into the local environment (more images below).

Once the campus is complete, you’ll be able to take a walk through it …

Google has designated 18,500 square feet of the project as a public route through the building. But don’t expect to be able to do so any time soon.

Google’s planning application is still preliminary, and much remains to be done before Google can start building.
