A Visit to Adobe
A visit with the Photoshop engineers at 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA. June 16 & 17, 2005.
When you visit Adobe Systems, Inc. visitors are allowed to park in the underground parking lots. The image on the left is the main door from the garage to the lobby. If you get off on the first floor, you’ll be on the ground floor with the main entry doors. As is fitting for a company built largely upon type, type is a reoccuring theme in the decor.
I had a few minutes to kill before my appointment so I decided to grab a few shots outside. The shot above is looking North at the 345 Park Avenue address. On the left is the West Tower and on the right is the East Tower. Just barely visible between the two towers is the newest 3rd tower called the Almaden Tower–where the “suits” (executives) work.
On the sixth floor, there is an open air courtyard between the three buildings that has a boccie ball court as well as a basketball court. On both the 14th and 15th floors are walkways that connect the three towers.
First time visitors might be surprised to learn that the Adobe Towers are in a direct line with the runways of San Jose airport. On most days, planes fly directly overhead–and I mean DIRECTLY OVERHEAD– on their way to land.
More about “da plane, da plane” later, but I must say that once inside, you never ever hear the planes. Yes, from 10 West, the Photoshop floor, you can sure see them really well, but the soundproofing inside the towers is very good.
