Stanford Research Park, once home to technology legends including Hewlett-Packard, General Electric and Lockheed, will now play host to Facebook. The prominent social networking company is seeking to consolidate its various Palo Alto locations while it looks for a long-term real estate solution.

Facebook is leaving behind several downtown Palo Alto locations in favor of the larger Stanford Research Park building to remedy the fragmentation that comes with having five separate company locations in the area.

The company will move into its new digs early next year. Facebook has not yet announced where it plans to move next, and it is not known whether a permanent campus will be located in the Palo Alto area.
