The new facility supports Atlassian’s Team Anywhere policy, a distributed-first approach that empowers employees to work from wherever they are most effective. It features flexible workstations, collaboration studios, wellness spaces, an outdoor sports court, a 280-seat café, and biophilic design with 10,800 live plants.
