Facebook will move from an office to its own town

The founder of Facebook Inc. Mark Zuckerberg intends to move his headquarters to a specially built office complex with its own infrastructure, where the employees of the company will not only work but also live and relax. All this took place against the background of the news about the after IPO period during which the company has already lost half of its original value.

The Los Angeles Times reports on the news. Facebook office will move from Menlo Park to a quiet suburb of California. According to the publication, it is made to attract the brightest professionals of Silicon Valley to Facebook, tempting them with ultra-modern way of life in a town with a lot of bonuses and free services (free laundry and dry cleaning, cheap restaurants and shops).

Facebook is not the first company that equips its front office as a small town with a variety of infrastructure, where residents feel like a big family. Similar tradition was laid in Silicon Valley in the middle of the last century by the Stanford graduates William Hewlett and David Packard, who founded Hewlett Packard. In addition, there is a well-known city office Apple Campus 2 in Cupertino (California).
