Pixar’s major changes are almost done! Some of the changes are adding another building, making a bigger gym, moving the basketball court, soccer field and volleyball court, etc. I think it took about over 3 years to completion.
Today my son and I went to Pixar with my husband so he can do some network stuff in the new building called Brooklyn. Pixar buildings are named after New York districts such as Soho, West Village, etc. Brooklyn is almost done and movers are here to move employee’s stuff into the new building and landscapers are here to finish placing the plants and grass onto the ground.
On May 6, Pixar will be having a house party to celebrate the opening of Brooklyn as well as their 25th anniversary. But today, my son and I got to tour Brooklyn before the crowd comes to Pixar next week.
Brooklyn’s atrium
Staircase
V-8 Cafe (named after Flo’s V-8 Cafe in Cars part 1 movie) Pixar will be celebrating their next finished movie Cars 2 in June.
This past Thurs, my husband got invited to try the food at the new V-8 Cafe. Certain departments at Pixar were invited. Not sure who the other departments were who got to have free food on that day. My husband told me he got roast beef sandwich and soup and he thought it was pretty good.
One of their public kitchen’s where employees can make their breakfast, store their own food or make espresso drinks
Their very expensive sub-zero fridge which cost over $14,000. This is one of the fridge we were thinking about putting in our remodeled kitchen but it’s too expensive. So we decided to buy a GE Monogram fridge.
Fireplace in the atrium
What’s hiding behind the fireplace??? it’s some secret room with a red lounge sofa, table, bar, flat screen TV and some fancy chandelier.
Cathedral… well it really isn’t a cathedral… My husband just calls it that way. Inside the cathedral, you can hear your echo… echo… echo…
Conference room
My husband and his coworker Neftali decorated the conference table with Cars characters.
You can see the atrium on the 1st floor which is below the Conference room on 2nd floor.

Pixar’s main building
Swimming pool, basketball court and volleyball court. Left side it is the West Village building which contains other offices and their new gym. Past the volleyball court, it is the Soho building where my husband’s office is located.
At Disney, they have a lot of hidden Mickeys. At Pixar, they have hidden characters as well from their movies.
