Google investing USD 9.5 billion in offices and data centres
Google plans to invest approximately USD 9.5 billion in US offices and data centres in 2022 despite the discussions about flexibility and remote working that has grown during the pandemic. ”Along with these investments, we expect to create at least 12,000 new full-time Google jobs by the end of the year, and thousands more among our local suppliers, partners and communities”, CEO Sundar Pichai writes in a blog post.
“It might seem counterintuitive to step up our investment in physical offices even as we embrace more flexibility in how we work. Yet we believe it’s more important than ever to invest in our campuses and that doing so will make for better products, a greater quality of life for our employees, and stronger communities.”
”Google’s offices and data centers provide vital anchors to our local communities and help us contribute to their economies. In the US, over the past five years, we’ve invested more than USD 37 billion in our offices and data centres in 26 states, creating over 40,000 full-time jobs. That’s in addition to the more than USD 40 billion in research and development we invested in the US in 2020 and 2021”, Pichai writes.
