I've been in a few client offices that were open concepts and it absolutely sucks! You hear everything which is very distracting. Your peripheral vision is always catching stuff moving, adding to the distraction factor. It's just a bad idea. The open office concept is straight up about control. Instead of bosses having to police their employees, everyone else is their eyes and ears. Nobody can be screwing off when everyone around them can see what they are doing and what is on their PC screen or whatever else. So, yeah, it straight up has nothing to do with employee wellness.

It's essentially open to public. Of course, you can't get into the buildings without a badge but basketball court, tennis court, and the outside area is accessible. I really like this campus. I don't even work there but the community benefits greatly. And with google building in downtown SJ area, the whole city could be one big recreational park.
