Photos: Facebook updates its location
Social network throws open the doors to its new headquarters--deliberately designed to be a work in progress.
Facebook's new offices
The company was previously located in a cramped series of buildings on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. The new Facebook headquarters is a massive complex in the foothills near Stanford University, located about 2 miles from downtown.
The development of the office continues to be a work in progress, although the employees are fully moved in. Facebook intends to allow the employees to decide how the building gets used, encouraging people to move furniture, rearranging and transforming the space as they go. The company also has an open policy regarding drawing, writing, and stenciling on the walls.
Room names
Other areas have rooms named after countries, and one area's conference rooms are named after characters on the HBO series "The Wire," which ended its run last year.

Outdoor eating spaces and basketball courts take advantage of the park-like setting of the new building, which is nestled in the Palo Alto foothills near Page Mill Road and Junipero Serra Boulevard.
