As you may know, NVIDIA is building a big new headquarter with a design inspired by the triangles that are rendered by its GPUs. We first heard about the new building in 2013 and within a couple of months from now it should finally be ready.

NVIDIA gave some attendees of the GPU Technology Conference the opportunity to tour the new "Endeavor" headquarter, which is expected to be ready within five months. The project cost NVIDIA $370 million and offers 46,500 square meters of space divided into two floors.
There are in total 245 triangular skylights on the roof, which surprisingly is not covered in solar panels.

What’s interesting though is the fact that the whole building is literally water cooled. The recycled water will be piped into a tower sunk under the roof of Endeavor, which will be used to cool the building through “an evaporation system with three giant fans”.
