SEE ALSO: Google Chrome is coming to VR with Google's latest Daydream updateAfter a long delay, the company has submitted plans for its proposed King's Cross Campus in London, the first wholly owned and designed Google building outside the U.S.
The massive 11-story building will comprise 1 million square feet — longer than the Shard building is tall — and has been designed by Heatherwick Studio and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).

The building will also provide giant moving blinds, which will rotate 180 degrees to reduce glare on staff as the sun moves during the day.
