Further expansion of the site planned to start in summer 2018
Today, Charles Schwab officially opened its new, 469,000-square-foot,
50-acre Austin campus at Gracy Farms. The campus, which has two
five-story office buildings, an amenities center and parking garage, is
designed as an open, collaborative and sustainable workspace to support
a modern workplace culture. It will house approximately 1,900 of
Schwab’s Austin employees, with room to accommodate future growth.
Construction of an additional office building and second parking
structure is slated to begin later this summer.
“Since opening our doors here in 2000, we've been proud to call Austin a
big part of our Texas home. We’re excited and humbled to be able to
expand our presence with a state-of-the-art facility,” said Dennis
Howard, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer for
Schwab. “We love being a part of the community in Austin. This city
offers a tremendous pool of talent that fits our culture of service and
our ambition to disrupt our industry. We are always looking for people
who are passionate about building a career with meaning and making an
impact on people’s lives, and Austin is a great place to find those
kinds of talented, purpose-driven people.”
Austin will be home to employees within all 15 lines of Schwab’s
business, including its recently announced digital
accelerator program. The positions reflect the diversity of those
roles with new hires in Information Technology, Digital Services,
Retirement Services, Compliance, and Marketing, among others. Schwab has
been investing in its Texas employee base for more than 40 years and has
most recently been named a “2017 Top Workplace” in Austin and Dallas-Ft.
Worth. It was also named as a part of “Best Companies Texas-2018.” The
company is actively hiring talent across the state with 260 open
Texas-based roles including more than 110 openings in Austin.
The new campus incorporates sustainable materials and systems, designed
to meet LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold
standard certification. It also features facilities designed to create
an environment that encourages innovation, cross-functional partnerships
and a sense of community. These include:
-
Surrounding walking trails, on-site yoga classes, and showers with
changing areas to support employees’ wellness activities
-
A cafeteria with self-checkout technology
-
An employee Schwab branch for personal investing needs
-
Adjustable sit/stand desks at every workspace
-
A multi-purpose auditorium with seating for 275
-
An artist program, showcasing the artwork and photography of employees
and local artists
