This building, combined with the previous structures constructed from 1997 through 1999, brings the total construction on the site to over 550,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space. Similar to the previous structures at the campus, Perfido Weiskopf Architects is the architect-of-record for the project and STUDIOS Architecture of San Francisco is the design architect for the project.

Building 5 is sited just west of dining facility in Building 3 and it is attached to the south side of the enclosed link, which ties all of the buildings together in a climate-controlled walkway. As opposed to the two-story buildings that comprise Buildings 1-4, Building 5 is a four-story structure, distinguished by the copper-colored standing seam wall/roof assembly on the east side of the building that frames the lawn in front of the dining facility in Building 3. The dining facility, at the heart of the campus, is also used as a casual place for meetings and large group gatherings. The completion of Building 5 fulfills the master plan concept by balancing the campus population and bringing Building 3 closer to the geographic center of the campus.

Building 5 continues the theme on the campus of providing flexible, predominantly open-office configuration office space for engineering, capitalizing on the natural lighting around the perimeter of the building. The exterior skin differs from the other campus structures to provide an individual character, except that the multi-colored concrete block walls have been extended into this building from Building 4 to reinforce the image of the link penetrating each of the buildings and passing through the mid-point of the ground floor. Inside the building, team rooms (small rooms within rooms) populate portions of the open office space for groups of people to meet in a casual, yet private setting, to work on specific group problems. A major feature of the interior space is the 3-level space on the east side of the building that is situated directly behind the standing seam wall, providing a visual interconnection among all floors above the first floor.
