Amazon’s Green Office
Transcript:
Unlike campuses of many tech giants that are often tucked to away city suburbs, Amazon's headquarters are located in the very heart of Seattle. But location is not the only thing that makes the campus unique. Three huge glass and steel bio-domes create a very unusual work environment for the employees of the tech giant. "There's been a lot of scientific research that shows that when you are surrounded by green, surrounded by nature, your brain works a little bit differently. Maybe it thinks more creatively. So we're really excited to give our employees this opportunity to come in here to work in a place that feels a little bit different, that feels really refreshing and also to educate them on all of the different types of plants that are here from all over the There are over 40,000 plants from more than 50 countries inside the bio-domes. Here, Amazon employees can sit in a cozy mist, or conduct a staff meeting under a cocoa tree.
Even the company's more conventional office buildings have interesting cozy work spaces galore. Here, for instance one can play chess or shuffle board or block themselves in the phone booth to get some privacy during a phone conversation while others might enjoy spaces like this amphitheater where they can work and watch something fascinating on TV. And this stand offers free bananas. Those who distribute them are affectionately called Beneatha's.
