Gen Headquarters

The new 50,000-square-foot Gen Digital headquarters in Mountain View reimagines the workplace as an experience — one grounded in innovation, hospitality, sustainability, and flexibility. This immersive environment supports a culture of creativity and connection while reinforcing Gen’s mission of “Powering Digital Freedom.” The design establishes a dynamic ecosystem where people, brand, and purpose converge. From the moment employees and visitors enter, they’re greeted by streaming music and a concierge, setting a tone of exclusivity and energy akin to an elevated club experience. The illuminated Gen Digital logo anchors the lobby, while a custom stairwell installation — forty-two 3-foot painted tubes with LED-lit ends forming the iconic “G” — becomes a powerful symbol of identity and innovation. Flexibility is foundational. An open floor plan integrates hoteling stations, quiet nooks, and collaborative zones, allowing for choice and adaptability across work styles. Natural light floods the interiors, creating a vibrant and health-conscious atmosphere. A continuous, multi-colored conduit “ribbon” flows throughout the space, a visual metaphor for Gen’s role in keeping the digital world safely connected. Hospitality is interwoven into the spatial experience. A central café encourages spontaneous connection. Kitchens, lounges, and a multifunctional event space are strategically placed to foster interaction, community, and culture. These spaces transition seamlessly, offering diverse settings for public events, informal gatherings, and heads-down focus. Sustainability and well-being are also prioritized through daylighting, having 95% furnishings are re-used , and the thoughtful use of materials. The result is a workplace that is as inspiring as it is intentional — one that positions Gen Digital as a leader in the future of work and design. This workplace is more than a headquarters — it’s a physical manifestation of Gen’s brand values and purpose. Every design element, from lighting to layout, contributes to a cohesive experience that celebrates innovation, empowers people, and reflects Gen’s commitment to shaping the future of digital life.
