The new campus will be fully loaded with solar water heaters and sensors that turn off the lights when a room is not in use, the company said.

Estimated to cost US$280 million, the Microsoft China Research and Development Group is one of the company’s main R&D operations, employing 1,500 researchers in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, a city in southern China. The number will rise up to 3,000 researchers, many of which will be housed in the new Beijing R&D center
