The Flour Mills protected structure is the first building to be completed in the Bolands Mills Campus. It showcases meticulous retrofitting with inclusivity as its central focus.
Promoting accessibility for individuals from diverse locations and teams, this renovation signifies the remarkable transformation of the historic Boland's Mill, a 150-year-old landmark, into a cutting-edge collaboration hub for Google. The Flour Mills is an unusual building, comprising 2,224m² which essentially serves as five distinct buildings in one. This results in a patchwork of various floors, featuring an unusual blend of both enclosed and open, double-height areas. With a strong emphasis on honoring its historical significance, its surroundings, and the local culture, the renovation project involved the addition of two new mezzanines, the installation of three new staircases, and the creation of a multitude of flexible workspaces.
