Mountain View Civic Center

While my company is contemplating moving to a bigger office space… as a employee of a company that occupied one of the office spaces at the Mountain View Civic Center, I decided to look back at the 18 months I’ve spent in this Prometheus-​managed building:
What I like
Gated, 2-​level underground parking for building residents. I spoil my car, and would hate to have it exposed to sunlight, covered in tree gunk, and speckled with bird poop.
Secured, after hours entry.
Food that’s only footsteps away: Le Boulanger (love their pickles!), Starbucks (friendly staff that make me my soy latte), Mediterranean Grill, Sweet Corner, Eagle Park and the rest of Castro Street which has almost EVERY service you need.
Bathrooms — not the 1-​room bathrooms I was used to at my previous job, but the mirrors are large and the bathrooms are relatively clean. Gotta love the automatic flushers… but sometimes they flush one time too many, and it’s worst when you’re not even done…
They’ll tear down walls to accommodate your company’s growth! As far as I know, management knocked down a divider wall, and a storage room to expand our space!
What I won’t miss
All offices seem to suffer from spastic temperature controls. One day the rooms are too hot, one day they are freezing cold.
Lights and HVAC shut off at 7pm unless you call in to have them on a little longer!
Not being able to use the stairs for some extra exercise.
Unstable elevators that I’ve been trapped in!
