The campus prides of the latest and the greatest technologies with all the entire campus being WiFi enabled that is fully extended over Single Mode Fiber ensuring full redundancy and diversity for high availability and with IT infrastructure based on latest Microsoft Standards. Telephone instruments have Exchange Unified Messaging (EUM) that helps employees receive and read voice mails or emails while they are away from their desk. People interact and collaborate across boundaries with Microsoft’s very own Round Table that allows 360° view video conferencing facilities, executive briefing centers, and extendible multipurpose conference rooms.
All the buildings adopt energy efficient designs with more glass surfaces that have customized glazing allowing more lighting, not heat. Use of directional and reflective lighting, energy efficient operations using BMS controls, use of water cooled chillers, tweaking set points based on seasons or ambient temperature, use of sensors to auto switch off lights and projectors and rain water harvesting make this an environment-friendly campus.
A beautifully landscaped outdoor amphitheater seating more than 500 people, 24/7 cafeteria catering to local and international palates with dining spaces that allow employees to watch TV with provisions for web casting key Microsoft events from Redmond, informal meeting areas stocked with several beverages including coffee tea, aerated drinks and energy giving drinks enable employees to unwind from work. All the public areas across Campus provide foosball, carom, table tennis and pool tables, and Xbox 360 consoles. The multipurpose sports ground which converts into a cricket or soccer field along with a basket ball court, beach volley ball court and a tennis complex ensure Microsoft employees can enjoy a leisure time after work!
Availability of Mothers room for women to have a private space to feed their children or simply spend some time with them while they are at work reflects Microsoft’s strong focus on diversity and inclusion. Other facilities like a 24 X 7 on-site ambulance staffed with paramedics, general practitioner visiting regularly along with dentist and occupational therapists, emergency vehicle breakdown assistance, 24x7 mail room, air-conditioned bus services covering all the major arterial routes in Hyderabad and secure home drop night transport for employees working late makes Microsoft Hyderabad one of the best and most secure campuses to work in. The campus also boasts of a multi level covered car parking facility for over 1500 cars.
The campus continues to expand and will soon have a Transport Yard (for the general transport operations (bus and shuttle services), convenience and pharmacy stores, another multi-purpose ground and a volleyball court. A golf putting green is also under development.
