THE HEADQUARTERS · 1501 PAGE MILL ROAD · 1960
A hilltop campus built for views, daylight and volleyball
HP moved its headquarters to 1501 Page Mill Road in the Stanford Industrial Park in 1960. HP says the hilltop site was planned on the idea that people need pleasant surroundings to do their best work: buildings placed for views of the lower San Francisco Bay and maximum daylight, a landscaped patio, horseshoe pits, volleyball and badminton courts and a large cafeteria. Mosaic murals by artist Mary Henry, made of Italian smalti glass, greeted visitors to the new HQ. Today interior corridors link six buildings on different levels, each with its own color.
- HQ since 1960
