Expedia Group · Seattle, Washington
Three old biotech labs on Elliott Bay became a 40-acre waterfront campus with a public beach, an amphitheater big enough for all 5,000 Seattle employees and not a single assigned desk.
The campus, the benefits and 20 years of headquarters moves from Bellevue to the Seattle waterfront — then the pay. Every number from Expedia Group's filings, careers site and the designers' own project pages.

THE SEATTLE CAMPUS · INTERBAY · 2019–2021
Old lab buildings turned into a hotel-like workplace on the water
ZGF turned three 1990s biotech lab buildings into 600,000 sq ft of open offices and added a new 350,000 sq ft curved building. There are no private offices and no assigned seats: teams sit in “neighborhoods” with focus rooms and hoteling desks. A daylit atrium hosts all-hands meetings, a 600-seat market hall serves food from morning to night, bridges join the buildings, and sliding glass doors open to views of Puget Sound. Five large murals by Ethan Murrow are painted straight onto the walls. Outside, Surfacedesign restored the beach and planted a cherry orchard, gardens and a 12,000 sq ft cascading water feature.
- 950,000 sq ft renovated & new (≈ 88,258 m²)
- No private offices or assigned seats

Inside the curved building and the old labs
ZGF joined three 1990s lab buildings to a new curved building with daylit atriums, bridges and lounges, and no assigned desks anywhere.
