In this case, the boss' home is off Barton Creek Blvd. over in the country club. Big surprise.</p> http://austinist.com/2005/12/13/amd_one_step_closer_to_realizing_southwest_austin_campus.php#comment-224215 http://austinist.com/2005/12/13/amd_one_step_closer_to_realizing_southwest_austin_campus.php#comment-224215 Comments Wed, 14 Dec 2005 22:58:25 -0600 <p>It doesn't really matter how much "green" building AMD does on this site... There's no way to get around the fact that moving 2,000-3,000 employees to a sensitive area is a bad thing to do. With all the money they're spending on trying to make this site acceptable, they could have planned a cool campus in the heart of downtown, like Silicon Labs is doing. I have simply lost all respect for AMD.</p>
