Wow! That scored 4 on the Plain-English meter and 97 on the Gobbledygook meter! It would have got a 100 if it had used Paradigm and Synthesis.
I will be using the text above in our companies bid for the F-35 short range data port. I need at least 5 pounds of text to justify an IR comm link (like your TV remote from 1981) because they don't trust/understand Blue Tooth.
They never read more than the first three pages and glance and the TOC anyway.
/sarcasm... or not? You decide.
IMHO the construction of a monumental building for any company is a sign that company is past its innovative phase and into its decay. Too whit: Sears Tower, Chicago; John Hancock Insurance building, New York City; Seagrams Building, New York City; etc. Companies pushing productivity and innovation rent offices and invest in other things.
While in software, I do work with CalTrans, California's transportation people. 12K people would normally require 9K parking spots and 750 for visitors, unless a light rail/trolley is involved, and the local trolley/light rail/subway (BART) doe not go that far south. Doubtless the architects got caught up in how their custom glass looks, and the forest, and the engineers were ordered to implement their vision, so little details like parking get overlooked. Future office drones working there better hope that parking is the least of the problems, compared to plumbing, fire safety, and electrical grid management.
