Blog Post: Google is moving into 311,000 square feet of office space this month and hiring a new chef!

It's no secret that Google is trying to take the ad world by storm. And if you want to impress Madison Avenue, what better way than moving the East Coast Googleplex into a 311,000 square foot, multi-floor office in the swanky environs of Manhattan's Chelsea?

Google Watch recently learned some new details about the move:

The move itself begins the third week in August. But the big news is that, pending construction schedules, the brand new Google cafe will open in November on the 8th floor. The cafe will have seating capacity for 200 inside and 100 outside -- on the terrace! If you're worried about the Googlers going sans lunch prior to November, don't be. The new office will be catered by Restaurant Associates until the cafe opens.

Meanwhile, if you know any good chefs, a source tells us that Google Manhattan is hiring.

 Starting August 19th, Google will begin moving some of the departments into their new digs. Human Resources and Sales goes first, and then in September the engineering department moves in.

All the conference rooms in the new Google office will be named according to the theme of "New York Places." According to sources, the conference room names will include numbers corresponding to a grid pattern to help with wayfinding in the four acre office.
