DreamWorks Opens New Building in Redwood City
DreamWorks opens a new 200,000 square foot facility in Redwood City in an attempt to get animators under one roof.
DreamWorks animation opened a state-of-the art facility in Redwood City last Thursday in order to get artists and technical workers all under one roof.
DreamWorks currently employs over 600 people in its Redwood City location, though the company is headquartered in Glendale, California.
With the new facility will come the hiring of around 200 new workers, according to Studio Head Gail Currey.
