Microsoft is moving 100 employees over to the Manchester city centre, a massive hub for business in the UK. The employees will be placed at a new development in the city centre by the name of Neo, an extraordinarily fancy place that’s equipped with an on-site gym, an open-air terrace, screening rooms, and more. While it hasn’t been made clear just what these employees are going to be working on in this building – if it’s anything specific at all – this is definitely a nice place for Microsoft to plant a flag in.

According to Bruntwood, the organization behind the Neo building, the facility “houses a number of bold and innovative features, including Bluetooth-enabled mobile door access, a customer steering group, an on-site community and engagement manager curating a year-round programme of social and business support events and a £250,000 interactive digital art space, launched with an inaugural installation by internationally-renowned artist Brendan Dawes.”

The employees selected to move into the Neo building will be taking residency very soon, with a vague time period of “July 2017” being given out.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
