Google Canada will unveil its new headquarters for its national development team in Kitchener on Thursday.

The new workspace is located in a former rubber manufacturing facility that takes up a full city block. More than 350 engineers will work on Google products in the new 185 000 square foot office. The unveiling will showcase Google’s virtual reality technology and other locally-made products.

Google’s thumbprint in the region has grown since it opened its first office there in 2005.
