Pixar Moves Into Plush New Digs


Employees of animation studio Pixar are moving into a new $94-million 215,000-square-foot headquarters in Emeryville, CA this week -- a facility that sports an indoor gym, volleyball court, lap pool, a terraced amphitheater, three elaborate screening rooms and landscaping that will soon include gardens and an apple orchard.

"We're pinching ourselves," Pixar employee Brandon Neff told Saturday's San Jose Mercury News. "Everyone is just walking around with our mouths agape at how beautiful the building is. It's put a shot in the arm of everyone who works here."
