- We're using a lot of their visualization tools

to help optimize the daylight that's coming in here.

- We got to test out our technology on our own project.

as the inspiration for these futuristic buildings.

- These projects are all about the soul of Nvidia.

of one of the most sought after places to work look like

and how does NVIDIA's space fuel the work,

I took a tour and chased down a robot to find out.

- [Adam] On NVIDIA's campus in Santa Clara, California,

An outdoor park connects these two buildings.

- Our triangle motif here is really a reflection

3D graphics were based originally on drawing triangles.

The heart contains many of our most active spaces.

Reception, conference rooms, coffee breaks.

- [Adam] The heart sits at the center of Endeavor,

which was the first of the two new buildings

and effect what we did was take that heart

and spread it open across the surface of that mountain.

- It's like a highrise building on three and a half floors.

- [Adam] But NVIDIA's goals for the project

to foster collaboration and maximize efficiency

bring shared purpose to these two buildings.

- The CEO Jensen was very, very involved personally

How do you move information around on a silicon wafer.

What they do is they design the connections first.

there are workspaces for roughly 5,000 Nvidians total.

The project's leaders decided the best layout

for connecting workers was an open office.

- We always talked about the ideal way of getting everybody

to collaborate to get everybody in one room,

- I mean, if we're in one room with 3,500 people,

- So the shaping of the roof helps mitigate the sound.

And behind that, there's acoustical insulation there.

So the sound goes and gets absorbed by the roof.

in this MIT study helped motivate the switch

from the cubicle filled spaces in its older offices

that are important to building a very complex product.

it's not just about giving employees an opportunity

- And that's just by being able to see one another.

it would be tough to avoid running into other Nvidians here,

- So what you see along the mountain are these cabins

- It's a little bit of a metaphor for the work day.
