we really think that Silicon Valley is the right place to be for research and development to be close to our customers so we made this large campus investment here it's about 1.1 million square feet so we're ready for the next 30 years and beyond and we really wanted to be close to customers we really wanted to be this as an RD Center that have labs here that actually do design and so when we did built the building it's actually an open structure so you don't see walled offices that you normally would see in the center you see very open space all our conference rooms are all glass and the building itself the entire interior is full glass what's full transparency and so there was a lot of thought that went into how we actually connect people how we work together and then how we could use it as an advantage to create great ideas and collaborate with customers right here this is our semiconductor and our display businesses that are here and so we do everything from memory chips to SSDs to processors LED chips and then display panels LCD and all that we have a little over 700 employees that are here and the building is actually designed to have up to 2,000 so we've really designed this for long-term growth and so actually the public could come into the space which is very unusual for an R&D facility so we have secured areas and to get into certain parts of the building of course you need badges and to be able to do that but if you live in the area and you want to come visit you're able to do that we're setting up retail shops that are going to be in here and we work very closely with the city to really draw this area to be a place where people could live work and play
