Menlo Park's city council has officially given Facebook the go-ahead to break ground on its swanky second campus.
The council voted 4-0, with one member absent, to let the social network build its 433,555-square-foot building that was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, according to the Mercury News.
"Congratulations," Menlo Park Mayor Peter Ohtaki told Facebook officials yesterday, according to the Mercury News. "Where's the 'Like' button?"
It was revealed in August 2011 that the social network had plans to build a second campus. The site is located next to its current Menlo Park campus and is on 22 acres of land. It could accommodate up to 3,400 additional staffers.
