I'm assuming these are some sort of carports at LinkedIn?

Huh, maybe a solar array? Carports alone seem odd and I think this building was going for a LEED designation.

I thought about that, and they do seem overbuilt for a car port. However I was thinking if they were solar, they wouldn't point in?

Hat racks. It's part of the benefit package, along with complimentary donuts and coffee. Just hang up your hat and coat and come on in and work! We value our people!

Free lunches, golf simulator among perks at LinkedIn's new Omaha building

Cindy Gonzalez
Omaha’s fast-growing LinkedIn team moved into a new home Monday — greeted by frills that include walking trails, outdoor terraces, a golf simulator and a food court that serves free lunch.

The 200,000-square-foot complex near 132nd and Pacific Streets was tailored specially for the Microsoft-owned business and social networking site, and becomes LinkedIn’s fourth-largest work base in North America.

With ample meetup spots, nooks intended to spark creativity and other employee perks such as workout and resting rooms, the facility is expected to help retain and recruit talent.

Already, the giant tech company’s local workforce has grown from about 600 two years ago to 1,000 today, and could grow to 1,200 within a year, said Hobson Powell, vice president of global support, who leads the Omaha office.

Those numbers put LinkedIn among the Omaha area’s 35 biggest employers, according to Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce data.

And apparently, LinkedIn has a purchase option on the corner lot as well. The departments are growing very quickly, so even with the hybrid model, I wouldn't be surprised if they go for that as well.

It's too bad LinkedIn isn't in the running for a high rise in downtown.

It's too bad LinkedIn isn't in the running for a high rise in downtown.

I agree. With the Riverfront and other developments, I would think that would help attract talent too.

I live close to the Sterling Ridge development which contains LinkedIn’s new digs..In fact, from my driveway, I can see the development to the north..

I’m just glad they’ve committed to Omaha and are still growing their employee base here…

Ciao..LiO…Peace

The whole Sterling Ridge development has turned out really nice. I live just a few miles from it and have seen the changes over the past years. They’ve gone light on the retail portion which is probably smart. Overall a good improvement for Omaha.
