The facility is the former home of solar-panel manufacturer Solyndra, but Seagate purchased it in 2013 to house research and development projects. The facility has more than 62,000 square feet of roof area from which rainwater can be collected. With an average annual rainfall total of about 16 inches in Fremont, the facility has the potential to collect more than 580,000 gallons of rainwater each year (see Figure 1). Steven Deason, the Executive Director of Facilities for Seagate, wanted to reduce municipal supply-demand and create a sustainable environment for the software company’s research facility.
