Inside Facebook's futuristic new campus

The new building is an expansion of Facebook's current headquarters in Menlo Park, California.
Designed by noted architect Frank Gehry - who also designed Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall and Spain's Guggenheim Museum - the new building is a massive project several years in the making.
"Mark Zuckerberg and I met three years and a handful months ago, and with incredible speed for this size of construction project, he's moving into his building this month," Gehry said in a statement provided to Business Insider by Facebook. "From the start, Mark wanted a space that was unassuming, matter-of-fact and cost effective. He did not want it overly designed."
Employees officially began the move today, and though it's not yet complete, we've gotten our very first look inside.
