Roche Palo Alto’s 70-acre campus offers an attractive work environment with many natural features and man-made amenities. We are located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the birthplace of countless technological discoveries and advances. We enjoy an appealing quality of life with a year-round mild climate, beautiful setting, and the stimulating cultural, intellectual and geographic diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area -- all of which help to attract one of the most highly educated and exceptionally talented labor forces in the world.
Silicon Valley’s environment of innovation is reinforced by the excellence of Bay Area academic institutions including Stanford University, the University of California – Berkeley and the University of California – San Francisco. The synergy between academia and business nurtures advanced research in many disciplines.
Home to regional, state and national parks, the Bay Area is also the gateway to many of America's most popular vacation and recreation spots. To the north of our site lies San Francisco, the Sonoma and Napa wine valleys, Mendocino and the rugged North Coast. To the east in the Sierra-Nevada mountain range are Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. To the south are Big Sur, Carmel and Monterey. All of these locations are within a day’s drive.
