Microsoft Campus Loop
A 3 2/3 miles walk or trail run with 320 ft elevation gain around Microsoft's corporate headquarters in Redmond, WA. Along the way, participants can view the Visitor's Center, The Commons, the treehouses, and the many other facilities on the Redmond campus. Note that buildings, The Commons, and treehouses are private property and cannot be accessed by non-employees.
The Microsoft Redmond campus is located in the southern part of the city in northwest King County. The company straddles SR 520, bordered by Bellevue-Redmond Road, 148th Ave NE and NE 51st Street.
The Redmond campus spans 500 acres and is made up of a network of 125 buildings and outdoor spaces consisting of offices, workplaces, event spaces, recreational spots, restaurants, shops and common spaces.
Within this network of collaboration, work and recreational spaces are places specifically designed for employees to enhance their lives at Microsoft.
Apart from the 100 plus buildings, the campus has a set of treehouses, which consist of two enclosed meeting spaces as well as one elevated space called the “Crow’s Nest.”
At 150,000 square feet, “The Commons” is a medley of restaurants and shops providing Microsoft employees with the experience of having their own mall on campus.
The Commons ensures employees have (almost) everything one could need on-campus, including mobile carriers, a credit union, a music shop, hair salon and an auto-body shop, ensuring picking up that last-minute capo or dropping a car before work is easy as pie.
The campus also offers marked walking and running trails ranging from two to five miles. The central soccer field draws two corporate teams, one for men and one coed.
