⛔ Shoreline Amphitheatre Lot C is temporarily closed through May 31. 📍 Please park at our Alta Garage, at 1001 Alta Ave., where there’s a connector shuttle 🚌 to the Google Visitor Experience. (If you prefer to walk, it takes around 10 minutes, depending on your pace. 👟) 🅿️ Have you parked at Alta Garage before? If you have, you’ve probably noticed that it doesn’t look like a typical garage! ✨ It’s adorned with a beautiful art facade called Ode to Bohemia No. 5 (Inexhaustible Blooms) by artist Kim West (@westkim ). 🎨🌸 🏗️ Alta Garage was purposefully designed to not be a parking garage someday. We call the design future-proofed parking, which means that the building can easily be converted into commercial, residential, or community uses whenever the moment is right. 🏢🏠 🔗 Click the link in our bio to read about Alta Garage and learn how it can adapt for a future where there’s fewer cars and more sustainable modes of transportation. 🌱🌍 #visitgoogle #futureproofed #kimwest #publicart #mountainviewca
