Google office coming to Arizona State University. First office on a U.S. college campus

School, Web giant sign 3-year lease

Google’s first office on a U.S. college campus will be at Arizona State University. The announcement came, fittingly, in an electronic message Friday.

The news ends a months-long wait, since an announcement last year that the Internet search engine giant would locate somewhere in the Valley.

The selection process was kept extremely quiet, as cities throughout the Valley vied for the opportunity to become Google’s Arizona home. Ultimately, it was up to about a half dozen Google employees to make the decision.

"We wanted access to great talent, where our employees would have a nice work/life balance and have things they wanted to do like restaurants and art," said Douglas Merrill, Google’s senior director of information systems.
