According to the Pei Cobb Freed and Partners web site, "Office buildings of approximately 29,000–35,000 square feet per floor are set in pairs that frame a central green and create a series of more intimate courtyards connecting the paired buildings. The landscape was designed to encourage movement between buildings and create opportunities for informal meetings and events. The paired office buildings at the south end of the central green serve as a main arrival point and are joined by a double height reception and entry pavilion serving as a front door to the campus. At the far end of the central green is a Central Services Building including mail and data centers, a central plant and a café where associates will be able to come together and gather as a group." (See "The Capital Group Companies Orange County Campus,"Accessed 11/14/2011) The project enclosed 1,406,000 gross square feet, although 797,000 square feet were devoted to parking.
