Google Lincoln Land Greenspace

Situated as an extension of the Google Spruce Goose office, the Lincoln Land Greenspace is a vibrant, high-performance open space that seamlessly integrates nature, green infrastructure, social interaction, and outdoor programming. Designed to support everything from intimate gatherings and lunch breaks to large company events, the space fosters a healthy balance between workplace culture and ecological stewardship.

At the heart of the design is a dense forest of Hybrid Poplar trees, which not only provide generous shade and natural cooling but also contribute to the ongoing remediation of groundwater, offering critical air and water filtration benefits. Surrounding the grove are pockets of native planting, curated to support monarch butterfly habitat and promote local biodiversity.

The greenspace is grounded in green infrastructure principles: planting beds are bordered by porous paving made from recycled content, designed to absorb stormwater and support the lush vegetation. Custom wood benches, crafted from salvaged timber, are thoughtfully placed throughout to frame cozy gathering areas and offer moments of rest and reflection. Together, the forest, native plantings, and sustainable materials create a living landscape that allows employees to connect with nature, promoting well-being, environmental awareness, and workplace resilience.
