"Many people say that someone is more at home when they are outdoors, when you first come to this location you will find a very calm condition.All people who work here are very focused and enjoy the environmental conditions presented in front of it.

"It really does affect the way they think and work," explained Bret Boulter, who leads the project and other Microsoft facilities.
