The Final Environmental Impact Report has been published for a three-structure Life Sciences campus at 1005 O’Brien Drive and 1320 Willow Road in Menlo Park, San Mateo County. The project would add nearly a quarter million square feet of office and laboratory space to an area Meta once planned to build Willow Village. Tarlton Properties is responsible for the proposal.

Phase one of construction will include the five-story building at 1005 O’Brien Drive and four floors of the garage. Phase two will construct the four-floor R&D structure at 1320 Willow Road, an additional three floors to the garage, and complete the landscaped public open space with pedestrian paths and planters connecting the full campus.
The project will yield around 228,400 square feet of R&D floor area, with 154,580 square feet produced in phase one and 73,820 square feet in phase two. Parking will be provided for 520 cars and 47 bicycles. The campus amenities will include a basketball court, outdoor seating, and pathways open to the public. Additional areas will include private open space for outdoor activities and meditative spaces for employees.

DES Architects + Engineers is responsible for the design. The poorly illustrated renderings published by the team show boxy offices clad with glass fiber-reinforced concrete panels and floor-to-ceiling windows. The garage will be encased with a flexible metal mesh and exposed concrete, providing interior ventilation and an exterior design scheme.
