Because there are specific requirements that they have that may not fit that bill. At the end of the day, working remotely in that period of time or figuring out how to utilize the existing space with hybrid approach may work better.

Or they could do what you are saying but temporarily. Companies like Google with a lot of money aren't typically going to go with a cookie cutter office layout. They have specific requirements but cookie cutter could absolutely be an interim solution until a build out is complete.

My company did this while building out a new NYC space. We went into an older building that wasn't great but we could still work. A year later when renovations were done we moved to the new office.
