“Outstanding Course!”
Social-networking giant to take over former Sun/Oracle campus
“I don’t want to exaggerate, but I truly believe this course has improved my life and my financial well-being. The instructors had an outstanding command of the material and presented it thoughtfully and with great humor & insight.”

F
acebook’s plan to shift headquarters from Palo Alto to Menlo Park has possibly been the worst-kept secret of the past month. On Tuesday, the socialnetworking giant finally confirmed that the former Sun/Oracle campus along Bayfront Expressway will be its new home.

said. Sources familiar with the deal said RREEF paid about $100 million. Facebook said it currently has about 2,000 employees worldwide. It plans to move the first 500 Palo Alto employees to Menlo Park by mid-June. The rest should arrive by the end of the year. Facebook has most recently oc-
cupied two campuses in the Stanford Research Park, at 1501 Page Mill Road and 1601 California Ave. The company also bought two lots on Constitution Drive in Menlo Park near the Sun campus in December. Those lots, along with the 57-acre Sun campus, give Facebook enough space for 6,100 employees. ■ Sandy Brundage is a staff writer for the Almanac, a sister publication of the Weekly, and can be e-mailed at sbrundage@almanacnews.com.
